Unreviewed
Diet benthic animals with crustaceans being the major food choice [details]
Dimensions small benthic scyphozoans [details]
Distribution Massachusetts northward, Northeast, Atlantic, North Pacific [details]
Habitat attach to algae, sea grass (Zostera), and other substrates in shallow areas which have adequate water circulation [details]
Importance Stauromedusae are very sensitive to changes in environmental conditions (become rare in areas that have become polluted). [details]
Reproduction have both sexual and asexual reproduction. Asexual reproduction takes place by budding and fragmentation. sexual stage is seen in the summer months, asexual stage is a small benthic polyp which is perennial. The polyp generally buds larval scyphomedusae during the spring. There is no medusa stage [details]
Taxonomy Stauromedusae are usually permanently attached to a substrate but can move in a somersaulting motion by adhering to the subsrate with the oral end and releasing the pedal disc, then reattaching the disc at a new location. None have been observed to swim. [details]
