Hairy cyanea (Cyanea capillata)
This jellyfish is also often called the «lion’s mane» because of its voluminous tentacles and rather impressive size. The diameter of the cyanea dome can reach 2.5 m, and the tentacles — 30 m in length. The bite of the giant jellyfish is quite painful, and the toxins in the venom can cause allergies in humans or kill small fish. At the moment, only 1 case of death has been registered in the world after the burn of this jellyfish.
