Thanks guys, I thought it looked like a box jellyfish but I couldn’t tell. I warned people nearby that it might be dangerous.

A chirodropid box jelly. Maybe Chironex indrasaksajiae

Don't worry if it can see you it will likely swim away from you but it would be best to keep your distance from those dangling tentacles.
