Its sting is venomous to humans, but some swimmers feel no painful sensation at all. In severe cases the symptoms spread through the body, with pain at the sting site and elsewhere, paresthesia (abnormal prickling or tingling sensations), hyperesthesia (over-sensitive skin) and skin lesions. These symptoms can take a few months to fully disappear.1

Mfundo
It has comparatively sophisticated eyes with lenses, which help it detect and avoid obstacles such as posts or a ship's rudder.1
After a free-swimming larva forms, it develops into a polyp that can reproduce by budding, and it can regenerate missing parts within 72 hours.1
It swims by making rapid contractions of its bell, moving between 3 and 6 metres per minute.1
Its tentacles can grow up to 30 cm long, many times the width of its box-shaped bell.1
It is the only box jellyfish found in the Mediterranean Sea.1
