Jellyfish are not scary. They're just fascinating.

Jellyfish Sting: Symptoms & Treatment | Study.com

Lion's Mane
Don't think you're immune to jellyfish stings by staying in cooler water. The lion's mane jellyfish dwells in the cold waters of the Pacific and Atlantic Ocean. Luckily, this jellyfish is quite large and easy to spot, with a diameter of over two meters, and has very long, numerous tentacles. If you are unlucky enough to be stung by a lion's mane jellyfish expect difficulty breathing, severe muscle cramps and even skin blistering, as the toxins are severe.

Box Jellyfish
Box jellyfish are the most dangerous type of jellyfish and one of the most poisonous animals in the ocean. A sting from a box jellyfish (also called a sea wasp due to the pain it can cause) is enough to send a man into cardiac arrest. Box jellyfish are a huge problem in the warm waters of Australia.
The most severe stings can result in difficulty breathing, collapse, muscle cramping and spasms, death of tissue where stung, chest pain, changes in pulse, nausea and vomiting. There are over 40 species of box jellyfish and not all are so deadly. Less toxic stings will produce red welts, stinging, swelling, headaches, and sweating.
