Thimble jellyfish
The thimble jellyfish is a tiny jellyfish with a flat top and straight sides, shaped a bit like a thimble. It lives in warm waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean. It matters because it is the most common cause of seabather's eruption, an itchy skin rash that swimmers can get from its larvae.1

Its stinging cells, called nematocysts, can cause a skin reaction in people. The stings are not painful, but they can form an itchy rash.1

The condition happens when a swimmer touches a cloud of larvae, which stick to clothing and hair. In Florida, most cases occur between March and August.1

Dintlha
Its larvae cause most cases of seabather's eruption, a rash that can appear after a swim.1
The larvae are killed when a swimmer leaves the water and bathes or dries off. This releases their under-developed stinging cells onto the skin.1
Swarms can cover a million square metres of sea surface.1
Its orangish-brown colour comes from symbiotic zooxanthellae, tiny algae that live inside its bell.1
Spadefish, sunfish, green sea turtles and sea slugs eat it.1
It swims by pulsing its bell and rotating as it moves.1
