Sea Nettle

The sea nettle species of jellyfish prefer the open waters of the Pacific, Atlantic, and Indian Oceans. They vary in physical characteristics depending on their habitat, but they can be distinguished by their golden-brown bell which can be as long as three feet. Trailing behind the bell are tentacles which can reach a length of 15 feet. The sea nettles use stinging cells while hunting, which are very painful to humans.
