Carybdea xaymacana is a venomous species of cnidarian, in the small family Carybdeidae within the class Cubozoa.[1] The species has been documented off the coast of Mexico[2] and Australia.[3] To distinguish this species from other cubozoans along the Mexican coasts, one can note its four pedalia, each containing a single tentacle, and its heart-shaped rhopaliar niche ostium.[4]
