Bonaire Banded Box Jellyfish in St Lucia

Saw this jellyfish near the Pitons in St Lucia while snorkeling at 10am in the morning. Thanks to Dr Cheryl Ames, I was able to identify this jelly as a Bonaire Banded Box Jellyfish that is a new species of Tamonya currently being named. The locals believed that it drifted in with the currents and is not currently native to the area. The location is in a marine park with knowledgeable rangers who actively patrol the area. This box jellyfish was approximately two feet in length and appeared to be able to swim.
