Experts unable to confirm species of Kata jellyfish

PHUKET: A Phuket diver photographed what he believed to be a box jellyfish while diving off of Kata Beach last Sunday.

The photo was supplied to the Department of Marine and Coastal Resources (DMCR) Region 5 by Kanawut Krongraksa, who spotted the creature at a depth of about eight meters. However, experts have yet to confirm the exact species.

“I have seen the photo myself, but we can't confirm what species of box jellyfish it is,” Dr Charatsee Aungtonya, a marine expert from the DMCR, told the Phuket Gazette.

“It is possible for them to come closer to the surface where people are swimming. Therefore, I would like to caution people not to touch a jellyfish should they see one. There is no need to panic, but it is wise to be aware and forewarned.”

Dr Charatsee Aungtonya might need some help from a professor.

A couple of years ago a diver member of this forum posted some pics of some very similar creatures taken in the same general area.

He claimed them to be the deadly box jellyfish (sea wasp), but others (including myself) thought them more likely to be Irukandji jellyfish, a related, but less deadly creature.

Aren't Irukandji are about the size of a thumbnail, to me the jelly in the photo looks much larger..?

Not sure how you sized that jellyfish, I can't see any reference points to compare in the photo.
