Sea Nettles (Chtysaora quinquecirrha)

Known for tentacles that contain toxins used to paralyze and capture prey, these jellyfish also cause painful and annoying stings to swimmers who happen to cross their path. The sea nettle is known for its tolerance to a wide range of salinities and can reportedly live in habitats varying from 10-35 PPT. At lower salinities, they are white in color and where salinities are higher, they often have reddish marking along the central tentacles and swimming bell.

Moon Jellyfish (Aurelia aurita)

Present in Florida panhandle waters. Contact does not normally produce stings in humans.
