[1] Carukiidae can be easily classified by their lack of cirri clumps inside the cubozoan stomach, as well as the size and the placement of their nematocysts.

The rhopalial niche openings, which discern light, do not incur any illness.

The Carukiidae also have non-venomous rhopaliar horns, which are imperceptive in function and located above the rhopalial niches.

In the event that it goes untreated in humans, cardiac arrest is a potentially deadly consequence.
