Box jellyfish. Possibly one of the most dangerous marine animals of Australia's waters, the box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) derives its name from the box or bell shape of its body. Its 60 tentacles - equipped with millions of nematocysts, or stinging cells - extend from the body, and have the potential to inflict fatal stings to humans.. Jellyfish are classified as medusozoans, a subphylum within the phylum Cnidaria (Figure 1). The term jellyfish has also been used to describe the grouping of medusozoans with comb jellies (phylum Ctenophora) and thaliaceans (i.e., pyrosomes, salps, and doliolids; phylum Chordata, subphylum Tunicata, class Thaliacea, orders Pyrosomida, Salpida, and Doliolida) that outwardly resemble medusozoans.
