The box jellies are found off the west coast of South Africa and are often encountered in swarms by scuba divers.

These jellies have strong tentacles armed with thousands of stinging cells called “nematocysts” – so stay clear of these in the wild!

You’ll find these fascinating jellies, as well as other species, in the Oceans of Contrast: Atlantic Ocean Gallery.
