Description
This Box Jelly or "Sea Wasp" is a medically important Cnidarian, class Cubozoa. Relatives of this species are among the most venomous animals in the world. This species (probably Alatina alata) won't kill you... but they hurt. Some species swim toward light. This is the business end of the tentacle which delivers venom via a specialized cell, the cnidocyte. Trawled from between 200 meters depth and the surface, Gulf of Mexico, August 2016.
