The Portuguese Man O' War (Physalia physalis), also known as the bluebubble or bluebottle, is commonly thought of as a jellyfish but is actually a siphonophore—a colony of four sorts of polyps.

Type of Jellyfish and really, really bad for you if it stings you! Don't think getting your mates to urinate on you would help in this case!

It is an ocean dwelling stinger. I got one wrapped around my head after being dumped while surfing from a large wave. Nasty.
