medusa—Atlantic Ocean, Brazil, from 24.2°S to 25.9°S (Nascimento 2010; specimens collected in this study). Habitat: polyp—on algae, fouling, hydroids, polychaetes, and Mithraculus forceps (Haddad 1992; Migotto et al. 2001; Shimabukuro & Marques 2006a; Shimabukuro 2007; Flynn & Valèrio Berardo 2012).
