Discussion
- Polyps are assumed to differ from medusae by {p_Am} and E_Hp only and by isomorphic growth
Facts
- polyps 2.3-24 mm high (including arms); 1-5 ephyrae per strobila; strobilation 24 d at 10 C; (Ref: HolsSotj2007)
- budding of scyphistomae is rare, especially at low temperatures (Ref: HolsSotj2007)
- Newly liberated ephyrae were able to catch and feed on living Artemia nauplii, and within a few days they could swim well in culture dishes (Ref: HolsSotj2007)
- It is a favourite food of the leatherback turtle (Ref: Wiki)
