    There are a few species that are found from Northern Australia to Vietnam. I think they are the only jellyfish with eyes. All are nasty fookers. Vinegar is used to stop the stingers from firing.

    I was on holiday with friends (Hundred Islands in Pangasinan province). We were wading in the beach when one of my girlfriends started screaming. Turned out that this jellyfish had wrapped its tentacles around her foot. We did use vinegar on it. She said the wounds stung for several days.
