Because box jellyfish, as with all other cnidarians, do not have blood, or a circulatory system, they can not be considered "cold-blooded." However, they are ectotherms whose body temperatures are equal to the temperature of the environment, which is usually very warm, as almost all box jellyfish are restricted to tropical waters.
