The Box Jellyfish, also known as the sea wasp, is an awe-inspiring creature that glides effortless through warm ocean waters. These fascinating jellyfish have a cube-shaped bell or umbrella part of their body, hence the name. With up to 15 tentacles growing from each corner of their body, they can stretch as long as 10 feet. They're near-transparent, making them tricky to spot in the water.
