Arrrph arrrpphh! That's seal talk for 'How are you guys?' There has been a swarm of a clear, possibly dangerous marine animal off the waters of Hawai'i! I asked my green sea turtle friend, Hawaiian Brian, who these mystery creatures are.

"Dude, they aren't mysterious creatures! They visit quite frequently here – about 9 to 10 days after a full moon! They're called Box jellyfish and pack a painful sting! Lucky for me, they are part of my diet and their sting doesn't affect me! When they're not here in Hawai'i, they can be found in other tropical places like Australia and the Philippines. These are hard to spot in the water since they are clear. If you ever get stung, vinegar usually stops the sting!
