The thimble jellyfish (Linuche unguiculata) is a species of cnidarian found in the warm West Atlantic Ocean, including the Caribbean.[2][3] It is a tiny jellyfish with a straight-sided, flat-topped bell.
This jellyfish is the most common cause of seabather's eruption, a reaction caused by the injection of juvenile jellyfish nematocysts into human skin.[4]
