Box jellyfish in southern california?

Description and Comments

Marina Del Rey Harbor E doc. Yesterday I watched a jellyfish with a box shaped head chase fish for about ten minutes. It was swimming laterally cloce to the surfase, against the wind, ocasionally poping out of the water. It was intentionally swimming to line itself up with the tiny bait fish. I have never seen a jelly like this before, only on TV. When I got home I found a picture I knew matched this jellyfish before even looking at the name, it was indeed a box jellyfish. Can this be possible????
