Könsmognad: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 30.0 cm WD hane/ej könsbestämd; (Ref. 121705)
Usually shallow water around creeks or mangrove outlets; often reported swimming around pier pilings in search of food (Ref. 3078). Polyps located in situ attached to underside of rocks near a river (Ref. 116835). Coastal inhabitant with alternating life stages: sessile polyps and small medusae in creek systems, while sexually mature highly mobile adult forms are in near-shore at depths less than 5 m. Strong swimmers. To ingest prey, it usually stops swimming and orients it dorsal section of the bell downwards. Forages in mangroves from November to March in Darwin, and feeds predominantly on prawns, while very huge medusa capture fish as well. Avoids habitats where entanglement of their tentacles is at risk (Ref. 116578).
