Quite a spectacle for divers, the pink jelly like mass with seemingly countless tentacles is in fact poisonous like all jellyfish. An Echizen’s sting can be fatal, causing a build-up of fluid in the lungs. Victims take up to a day to die and there have been 8 reported deaths from this particular type of jellyfish.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://aquaviews.net/japanese-waters-witness-an-attack-of-giant-jellyfish/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/aquaviews.net/img/B76275AD-D130-48A2-B80E-56AEEF7B44F2" alt="Nomura's Jellyfish" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://aquaviews.net/japanese-waters-witness-an-attack-of-giant-jellyfish/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/aquaviews.net/img/6ECA5CCF-A752-4C30-8376-C1048BE703AB" alt="Giant Jellyfish in Japan" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://aquaviews.net/japanese-waters-witness-an-attack-of-giant-jellyfish/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content8.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/aquaviews.net/img/F45088E6-3DE4-4638-AC61-792E11919243" alt="Echizen jellyfish" /></div></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://aquaviews.net/japanese-waters-witness-an-attack-of-giant-jellyfish/"><div align="center"><img src="http://content9.clipmarks.com/blog_cache/aquaviews.net/img/4779463F-ED52-46DA-A087-51979BC3A0CD" alt="Echizen jellyfish 2" /></div></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/CF85E913-4DBF-45A7-BFDD-1488B1E29F7E/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content6.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
