Box Jelly/Sea Wasp in Puerto Rico

Description and Comments

Never seen them before in the area. I got stung yesterday and I have never been stung like that before. The sting area still burns today. Had a 4" box shape medusa with four corners that the 10" tentacles originates from. I thought they only lived around the North Australia coast.
