the "Stings" section talks about the effects of jellyfish stings, specifically, it mentions that the sea wasp's sting may cause anaphylaxis/anaphylactic shock, which isn't very accurate, anaphylaxis is a type of shock induced by the immune system mistakenly flagging a foreign object as a threat, in other words, allergy. the correct term for shock from extra-immune causes is anaphylactoid shock, or non immune anaphylaxis. 196.112.9.218 (talk) 18:08, 28 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Day Creature (talk) 01:21, 29 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

There is a spelling error in one of the first sentences at the top of the page. Change motile to mobile. 2600:1015:B122:8540:F433:335E:ED61:9879 (talk) 23:39, 12 July 2025 (UTC)Reply

Not done - the word motile from motility is correct and defined here. Zefr (talk) 00:22, 13 July 2025 (UTC)Reply
