Yeah, It sounds like the Box. But they are only found up on our northeast coast and thankfully I have never had the major inconvenience of coming across one. Certainly I haven't heard of them down in Sydney where I lived or even more so further south such as Melbourne. If you live up north on the tropics and swim then best take a bottle of vinegar just in case. The acid in it apprently helps treat Box jellyfish stings. For most normal types of jellyfish with a sting a wetsuit has done the trick for me.
