Carybdea Marsupialis is a scientific name of the sea wasps. Sea wasps are from phylum Cnidaria. They are transparent jellyfish that is 3 inches in length and has tentacles that can be as long as 12 inches. Their have the shape of a cube and have complex eyes that detect light. Their tentacles allow them to capture their food quickly. They are found in Australian coasts and mid and northeastern sea of Italy. Although their stingers are considered mildly venomous to humans, it is very painful when getting stabbed by them. This box-like jellyfish swims by making rapid contractions in its belly, allowing it to move up to 10 to 20 ft per minute. They feed on
Crustaceans, polychaetes, and small fish. This species is in the order of Carybdeida, the family of Cubozoa, the phylum of Cnidaria, and the kingdom of Animalia. My only question is "How much food do they consume everyday?"
