Box Jellyfish 
    -AKA Sea Wasp

Jellyfish belong to the phyla Cnidarians. Cnidarians' are invertebrates and where the first to animals to move. Its scientific name is Chironex fleckeri and it contains one of the fastest acting toxins in the world. Jellyfish make their home in shallow water often off the coast of Hawaii, Cuba Japan, and Australia. This jellyfish eats small fish, shrimp, and plankton occasionally eating another, smaller jellyfish. Box jellyfish are extremely fast, they are not filter feeders that float with the waters current as some jellyfish do. Box jellyfishes are able to swim and chase prey. They do so by pumping water into and then out of their bell shaped bodies at high rates. Jellyfish reproduce in a very unique way. Two adult jellyfishes near each other will release sperm and eggs which will fertilize and become a zygote. The zygote turns into a free swimming larva that attaches to something hard and stable in the ocean, most often a rock or the ocean floor. There the larva matures into a polyp. The polyp grows and begins to bud. The buds dethatch from the polyp and within a few days turn into adult medusa. Adult medusas are adult jellyfish, thus completing the cycle.
