Date is corrected from 2007 to 2008 (publication of the book). Species photo followed by brief description (reproduced here). Bell diameter to 300 mm. Found in coastal and oceanic waters, on sheltered to open coasts; 0-20 m depth. Usually floating in the top few metres. The extremely fine and very numerous tentacles can reach at least 3 m, and can deliver a very painful sting. Feeds on small fish and other planktonic animals. Commonly found close to shore in summer to autumn; can reach very high densities and clog nets and the mesh cages of aquaculture pens. Previously misidentified as C. capillata (from the northern hemisphere) and C. annaskala (from eastern Australia).
