Bonaire banded box jellyfish
The Bonaire banded box jellyfish is a stinging sea creature described as a new species in 2011. It has been found in the waters of the Dutch Caribbean islands, and it is special because it is the first Tamoya species discovered in over 100 years. Like other box jellyfish, it is venomous, so it is best to keep well away from it.1

- Has a bell shaped like a plastic bag1
- Has a deep stomach1
- Tentacles are banded and range in colour from reddish-orange to dark brown1
- Has densely spread cnidocysts, which are stinging cells1
Wɔtaa fa no sɛ: The closely related Tamoya haplonema lives in the waters of Brazil and the south-eastern United States, so the two can be told apart partly by where they are found.1

Nsɛm
Its bell is shaped like a plastic bag.1
It is the first species of the genus Tamoya to be discovered in over 100 years.1
The International Institute for Species Exploration included it in its list of Top Ten New Species in 2011.1

Its name was chosen through an online competition run by the Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science.1
