The Atlantic Sea Nettle, known as Chrysaora quinquecirrha, is a relatively small jellyfish of various colors found along the Atlantic coast of the United States. When compared to the Pacific Sea Nettle, the Atlantic Sea Nettle is smaller. The Atlantic Sea Nettle, though small, is capable of delivering a potent sting. The Atlantic Sea Nettle’s tentacles are covered in coiled stinging filaments ready to release once they are touched. This sting, while not inherently dangerous to humans, is able to kill small prey and deter predators. The Atlantic Sea Nettle is carnivorous and feeds on small marine critters and uses its powerful sting to stun and kill its food.
