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

Mmene ungaizindikirire
- 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
Nthawi zambiri imasokonezedwa ndi: 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

Ululu wake umachita chiyani?
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

Ngozi kwa anthu: YopwetekaIngathe kupweteka kwambiri, koma pafupifupi nthawi zonse si vuto lalikulu.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

Its stinging cells are used to defend it as well as to catch prey.1
Ikalasa
- 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
- Tuluka m'madzi ndipo chotsa minyewa yolasa (tentacles) iliyonse (ndi magolovesi kapena nsalu).
- Pa jellyfish ya bokosi (box jellyfish) ya kumadera otentha: thira viniga pamene walasidwa kwa masekondi 30 osachepera, itana thandizo ndipo ukhale wokonzeka kuchita CPR. Pa bluebottle ndi zina zambiri: tsuka ndi madzi a m'nyanja, kenako madzi otentha kuti uchepetse kupweteka.

Mfundo
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
Kuthetsa nthano zabodza
Nthano yabodza: A dead jellyfish washed up on the beach is harmless.
Zoona: Even recently dead, stranded individuals can still sting.1
