Dintlha
Its stinging venom is being studied for possible anticancer effects against lung cancer cells in laboratory research.1
It is harvested for food and is considered a delicacy in some countries, including China and Japan.1
A small copepod lives on its oral arms and is thought to feed on mucus the jellyfish produces.1
Blooms can be very dense, and they can take food away from other animals such as fish.1
Sea turtles and jellyfish-eating fish, including tuna, butterfish, sunfish and spiny dogfish, prey on it.1
It has a partnership with photosynthetic algae, though it has less of these algae than many other jellyfish.1

- Fertilised eggs develop into free-swimming planula larvae, which settle on the seabed and grow into a polyp stage. The polyp then produces young jellyfish (ephyrae), which mature into the free-swimming medusa.1
