Mauve stinger
The mauve stinger is a small jellyfish that drifts in warm seas across much of the world. Its bell and tentacles are covered in stinging cells, so its stings hurt, even when the jellyfish is dead and washed up on a beach. Huge swarms of them can close beaches and damage fishing and fish farms.1

No anndirte ngal
- Adults have a bell 3 to 12 cm across.1
- Colour varies from mauve and purple to pink, light brown and yellow.1
- It has eight long tentacles and four long oral arms.1
- Unusually for a jellyfish, both the bell and the tentacles carry stinging cells.1
- When disturbed by waves or a ship's motion, it gives off short flashes of light at night.1
Ina heewi waylondireede e: Its common name purple-striped jelly can cause confusion with Chrysaora colorata. Stings from either can cross-react, so people who have been stung by one may react to the other.1

This jellyfish stings rather than bites. Its stinging cells cause pain, redness, swelling and a rash, and the pain typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks. Less often, people feel dizzy or are sick or have diarrhoea, and skin rashes can return years later.1

Bone e yimɓe: MuusɗoIna waawi muusde sanne, kono hertaani wonde huunde mawnde.Stings are common and painful, but they are generally not dangerous and there are no known deaths. A rare serious allergic reaction can happen, and a single case of Guillain–Barré syndrome, a serious nerve condition, has been linked to a sting; all symptoms in that case cleared within 6 months.1
Hol ko ngal waɗata so ina hula?
Its stinging cells are used to defend it as well as to catch prey.1
So ina jukka
- The sting may possibly be relieved with compounds called hydroxyacetophenone and Symsitive, which stop the stinging cells firing. Seek medical help if a serious allergic reaction or other symptoms develop.1

Humpito
It glows in the dark, and a description of its light was written by Pliny the Elder in 77 AD.1
Unlike most jellyfish, it has stinging cells on its bell as well as its tentacles.1
A seven-arm octopus has been recorded holding one of these jellyfish to use its sting as a defence.1
Swarms can cover tens of square kilometres and contain millions of jellyfish.1
It can eat microscopic plant plankton, which is highly unusual for a cnidarian.1
It has no polyp stage, a bottom-dwelling stage that most other jellyfish go through.1
Feññinoowo fenaande
Fenaande: A dead jellyfish washed up on the beach is harmless.
Goonga: Even recently dead, stranded individuals can still sting.1

- Males and females release sperm and eggs into the sea during daylight. The fertilised egg becomes a larva in 3 days, a tiny young jellyfish after a week, and an adult about a month later.1
