Chironex yamaguchii, commonly known as ハブクラゲ (transliterated as habu-kurage, literally meaning "Viper Jellyfish" in Japanese) and as "hub jellyfish" due to erroneous machine translations, is a species of box jellyfish found in coastal waters around Japan, on Okinawa and the Ryukyu Islands, and in the Philippines.[2] Discovered in 2009, it is highly venomous and has been the cause of several deaths in Japanese waters.
