Pablo, the Humann/DeLoach Reef Creature Identification 2nd Edition for Florida, Caribbean and Bahamas lists the Moon Jelly (Aurelia aurita) as "Mildly toxic; can sting bare sensitive skin and cause slight itchy rash".
An aware diver can guide these jellyfish (in low densities) away without being stung. Apply very, very light pressure with the bare hand on top of the dome and you can avoid being stung. Try it at your own risk, though. What is mildly toxic to one person might be fatal to another.
In my Dive Photo Album "Vessup Bay" you will see a picture of my son and daughter moving some moon jellyfish out of a swim area.
