Not much is known about the mysterious species, which measures 50cm long and has a sting so powerful that it can be felt in the water surrounding the creature.More at the link
It was found by an aquarist who was releasing a rescued sea turtle. Puk Scivyer, who works at UnderWater World aquarium in Mooloolaba, said: ‘As soon as I saw it I realised it was a species I'd never seen before.
‘But to then discover I was the first person to see this species in over a hundred years was just incredible.’

A real life cokie monster.
It's like Cthulhu except it's not.
I'm guessing meat tenderizer isn't the antidote for this jellyfish.
Peanut butter and jellyfish sandwich.
Stuff white people won't eat.
The puzzle for me is how does he keep the cookies dry.
Maybe the deadly pink jellyfish is so rare because deadly pink jellyfish sex is very very dangerous. Worse even than black widow sex where only the male dies. Here it's a two way stingfest. Assuming of course this is a species that reproduces sexually and doesn't just split in half.
I think that's just some old broccoli in plastic bag.
Oh cool, an Eldritch Abomination.
TMBG poked a little fun at that sort of thing.
My God! Was that really 20 years ago?
Yes, and that could explain why it has not been seen for so long despite that it has obviously been there, hiding amongst the broccoli, cauliflower, autopsied medula oblongata, and messy murder scenes. Probably sighted many times, but assumed to be something else, or maybe it was those things and yet not, and possibly it is what gives those items their form from within our minds where it may make it's true home.
