    The Irukandji jellyfish (/ɪrəˈkændʒi/ irr-ə-KAN-jee) are any of several similar, extremely venomous species of rare jellyfish. With a very small adult size of about a cubic centimetre (1 cm3), they are both the smallest and one of the most venomous jellyfish in the world. They inhabit the northern marine waters of Australia. They fire their stingers into their victim, causing a condition known in humans as Irukandji syndrome, which can be fatal. There are about 16 known species of Irukandji, of which Carukia barnesi, Malo kingi, Malo maxima, Malo filipina and Malo bella are the best known.

    one of the most fascinating species to exist in this planet

    Immortal Jellyfish

    To date, there's only one species that has been called 'biologically immortal': the jellyfish Turritopsis dohrnii. These small, transparent animals hang out in oceans around the world and can turn back time by reverting to an earlier stage of their life cycle.

    This is called "Transdifferentiation". It reprogrammes the medusa's specialised cells to become specialised polyp cells, allowing the jellyfish to regrow.

    PS: There's a Japansese scientist Dr Shin Kubota (Kyoto Uni Research team) who kept colonies of T.Dohrnii alive for many years to study them.
