Carybdea [Carybdea]

Description

Carybdea is a genus within the family Alatinidae, comprising small to medium-sized box jellyfish. These jellyfish are recognized by their distinctive box-shaped bell and long, slender tentacles that extend from each of the four corners of their bell. Carybdea species are known for their ability to inflict painful stings with their tentacles, which they use to capture prey. Despite their smaller size compared to some other box jellyfish, Carybdea species are important components of their marine ecosystems, serving as both predators and prey.
