The species may lack nematocyst warts at least when young. The bell itself is transparent and very hyaline (glassy). Species of the Pacific (not including areas near Hawaii) are often very large, up to {{convert|12|in}} long and up to {{convert|6|in}} wide. Atlantic specimens vary in size from {{convert|5|in}} long and {{convert|2|in}} wide up to {{convert|10|in}} long and {{convert|5|in}} wide, occasionally larger. Some specimens have been seen with nematocyst warts. A. alata in Hawaii are about {{convert|6|in}} long by {{convert|3|in}} wide on average. DistributionA. alata ranges across the Pacific and Atlantic and possibly the Indian Ocean. It is also found in the Arabian Sea along the beaches of Pakistan.[3]Toxicity{{Unreferenced section|date=April 2018}}Though the sting itself of A. alata is not particularly dangerous, it can cause a life-threatening reaction known as Irukandji syndrome. Unlike the true Irukandji, in which stings may barely be noticed at first, A. alata causes severe pain immediately following the sting. Symptoms start anywhere from within 5 to 120 minutes. Symptoms include headache, backache, muscle, chest, and abdominal pains, nausea, vomiting, sweating, anxiety, hypertension, tachycardia, and pulmonary edema. TaxonomyKnown for many years as Carybdea alata, it was given its current binomial name by Lisa-Ann Gershwin in 2005.{{Citation needed|date=April 2018}} The diversity of each species may require more new species such as: Atlantic specimens (2 for with or without nematocyst warts), Indian Ocean species, several Pacific (not including Hawaii species) types, and an individual species for Hawaii.{{Clarification needed|reason=|date=April 2018}} References1. ^{{WRMS species|289378 |Alatina alata Reynaud, 1830}} 2. ^{{WRMS species|418872 |Carybdea alata Reynaud, 1830 }} 3. ^{{Cite journal|last=Kazmi|first=Q.
