Tamoya Haplonema
''Tamoya haplonema'' is a species of box jellyfish in the genus '' Tamoya''. It is the type species of the genus and was described in 1859. The medusa possesses four tentacles, one each on an inter-radial pedal. Body They possess 4 tentacles, one each on an inter-radial pedal. Like other cubomedusae, ''Tamoya haplonema'' has four rhopalia with a statolith and four simple eyes and two camera eyes on each rhopalium. Diet ''Tamoya haplonema'' prey on fish. They have also been observed interacting with fish outside of the predator prey relationship, with the fish going inside the jellyfish and around the tentacles without being consumed. Habitat It is native to the western Atlantic, and specimens have been found from Argentina to Long Island. Some specimens have been found in the Gulf of Mexico, off the coasts of Mississippi and Alabama. They were once thought to live off the coast of Africa, but those sightings have since been attributed to actually be a different species, '' ...

Tamoya Ohboya
''Tamoya ohboya'', also known as the Bonaire banded box jellyfish, is a species of box jellyfish formally described in 2011. ''Tamoya ohboya'' was discovered by a biologist and educator, William Gillan. In order to name the newly discovered species, Coalition on the Public Understanding of Science organized an online competition, which was won by the high school marine biology teacher Lisa Peck, who explained her winning entry saying: "I bet ‘Oh Boy’ is the first thing said when a biologist or layman encounters the Bonaire Banded Box Jellyfish." It is the first species of the genus '' Tamoya'' to be discovered in over 100 years. The International Institute for Species Exploration included it in a list of Top Ten New Species in 2011. The species was discovered in the waters of the Dutch Caribbean islands (then part of the Netherlands Antilles). There have been roughly 70 confirmed sightings since 1989, approximately 45 of which took place in the waters of Bonaire and the res ...

Box Jellyfish
Box jellyfish (class Cubozoa) are cnidarian invertebrates distinguished by their box-like (i.e. cube-shaped) body. Some species of box jellyfish produce potent venom delivered by contact with their tentacles. Stings from some species, including ''Chironex fleckeri'', ''Carukia barnesi'', ''Malo kingi'', and a few others, are extremely painful and often fatal to humans. Taxonomy and systematics At least 51 species of box jellyfish were known as of 2018. These are grouped into two orders and eight families. A few new species have since been described, and it is likely that additional undescribed species remain. Cubozoa represents the smallest cnidarian class with approximately 50 species.

Tamoya Gargantua
''Tamoya gargantua'', commonly known as the warty sea wasp, is a venomous jellyfish in the genus '' Tamoya''. Its tentacle height is 22 cm, and the width of the bell is 13 cm. It is found on the shores of Eastern Africa, Samoa, and some of the islands in the Indian Ocean. They can be found in bays in those areas.

Ernst Haeckel
Ernst Heinrich Philipp August Haeckel (; 16 February 1834 – 9 August 1919) was a German zoologist, naturalist, eugenicist, philosopher, physician, professor, marine biologist and artist. He discovered, described and named thousands of new species, mapped a genealogical tree relating all life forms and coined many terms in biology, including ''ecology'', '' phylum'', ''phylogeny'', and ''Protista.'' Haeckel promoted and popularised Charles Darwin's work in Germany and developed the influential but no longer widely held recapitulation theory ("ontogeny recapitulates phylogeny") claiming that an individual organism's biological development, or ontogeny, parallels and summarises its species' evolutionary development, or phylogeny. The published artwork of Haeckel includes over 100 detailed, multi-colour illustrations of animals and sea creatures, collected in his ''Kunstformen der Natur'' ("Art Forms of Nature"), a book which would go on to influence the Art Nouveau artistic mo ...

Fritz Müller
Johann Friedrich Theodor Müller (31 March 1822 – 21 May 1897), better known as Fritz Müller, and also as Müller-Desterro, was a German biologist who emigrated to southern Brazil, where he lived in and near the German community of Blumenau, Santa Catarina. There he studied the natural history of the Atlantic forest south of São Paulo, and was an early advocate of Darwinism. He lived in Brazil for the rest of his life. ''Müllerian mimicry'' is named after him.West, David A. 2003. ''Fritz Müller: a naturalist in Brazil''. Blacksburg: Pocahontas Press. Life Müller was born in the village of Windischholzhausen, near Erfurt in Thuringia, Germany, the son of a minister. Müller had what would be seen today as a normal scientific education at the universities of Berlin (earning a BSc in Botany) and Greifswald, culminating in a doctoral degree in Biology. He subsequently decided to study medicine. As a medical student, he began to question religion and in 1846 became an athei ...
