A sea nettle hitting me in the face couldn’t have stung worse.

Hundreds of maroon sea nettle jellyfish drifted under the boat, and dolphin pods followed our wake.

While moon jellies usually don’t sting, another kind of jellyfish called the Pacific sea nettle does sting — sometimes even after it’s dead.

He began to amass a long list of other potential dangers, including hypothermia, hyperthermia, exposure, mass calorie deficit, the great white shark, the oceanic whitecap shark, the Portuguese-man-of-war and another jellyfish, the Atlantic sea nettle.

The jelly- fish community is upside down, too, with a complete shift underway from predominantly Pacific sea nettle, to the much smaller water jelly.
