Differences Between the Man-of-War and the Box Jellyfish (Carybdea alata)


Rinse with fresh or salt water -do not use vinegar. For severe pain, try applying heat or cold, whichever feels better to the victim.

Who's organising the dive Foxy? Not to spoil the fun but I have seen a documentary of fully clothed divers being stung on the lips and suffering in bed.

I do not know if anyone has said this but another interesting fact about the PMW is that they can have two types of curved sails so that if one type drifts ashore the other blows out to sea.

regards

@ Dentex. 'Pluck Off' in this context means to remove the tentacles which will still be attached to the skin. You must remove them using a towel or cloth.

Seems to be happening every year now....
Could this jellyfish influx be cause by climate change ??

If I am not mistaken, the reduction in turtles is bringing up this problem as jelly fish have less predators. I am no Geo & Geo but that is what I heard.

- Plenty of fish on the sea.. so why not put them in a tank? - Go to Top of Page
