I'd heard of these as a kid in Australia, but never seen one. The Cuban beach resort we stayed at had to close its beach most afternoons due to them washing ashore in higher winds. Their tentacles extend quite a ways underwater, and they apparently cause about three days of serious pain if you touch them.
