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

Fatgs

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

It is hard to collect because it swims fast and does not gather in groups.1

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