Ah yes, the Sea Wasp. One of the deadliest things in the USA, yet so tiny and clear that it's damn near invisible. A sting so powerful, that at times even morphine can't stop the agony.

I know there's something so hurtful that, when it stings you, you don't even stop screaming when put in a medical coma. Of course it lives in Australia :D Lovely beaches, shame about what's already living there.
Deathworlds.
Love 'em.
That's the sea wasp, also known as the box jellyfish. There are multiple types, but, believe it or not, the tiniest ones are the most deadly and most painful. Their main area is, in fact, the waters around Australia. That is why people often wear wet suits that look like pantyhose over their entire bodies before going swimming in the ocean. Because the animals will sting ANYTHING living. But when in contact with even thin cloth, they don't sting because their stingers don't register it as a living being.
Thanks. Wasn't sure if it was the Box Jellyfish or the poison shell thing.
