Carybdeidae
''Carybdea'' is a genus of venomous box jellyfish within the family Carybdeidae that currently consists of a total of 8 species. This genus of jellyfish are often found in warm waters around the world in waters such as the Mediterranean Sea, the Pacific Ocean, and off the coast of Africa. Their sting can cause a range of effects depending on the species. These invertebrates will go through both Sexual reproduction, sexual and Asexual reproduction, asexual reproduction as they transform from a polyp to medusa. Carybdea have a box-shaped bell with four tentacles and eye-like sensory structures. There are distinct physical markings that differentiate many species within the genus. While Carybdea use their venom to act as predators, they are also preyed on by turtles and various fish. They feed on plankton, invertebrates, fish, and some crustaceans. Classification Class This genus of venomous box jellyfish is categorized in the class Box jellyfish, Cubozoa. Cubozoans are referred ...

Carybdea Marsupialis
''Carybdea marsupialis'' or Mediterranean Box Jelly is a venomous species of box jellyfish, in the small family Carybdeidae within the class Cubozoa. Description ''Carybdea marsupialis'' is a small transparent jellyfish with a box-shaped bell about across, at the four lower corners of which are four elongated tentacles up to long. The bell has a number of small white or yellowish warts with stinging cells, and near the margin, equidistant from the tentacles, are four rhopalia (sensory structures with ocelli). This species can be distinguished from other similar species by the red banding on the tentacles. Distribution ''Carybdea marsupialis'' was once considered a widespread species found in warm oceans around the world. Taxonomic reviews have shown that most of these are other species in the genus '' Carybdea'', with the true ''C. marsupialis'' essentially restricted to the Mediterranean Sea.

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 Historically, cubozoans were classified as an order of Scyphozoa until 1973, when they were put in their own class due to their unique biological cycle (lack of strobilation) and morphology. 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.
