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

  • Has a deep stomach1
  • Tentacles are banded and range in colour from reddish-orange to dark brown1
  • Has densely spread cnidocysts, which are stinging cells1

Ñu ngi koy faral di jaxasoo ak: The closely related Tamoya haplonema lives in the waters of Brazil and the south-eastern United States, so the two can be told apart partly by where they are found.1
