Identification is doubtful
Ecology -- the medusa can be found on many algae including corallines and the green alga Enteromorpha australis (previously known as Ulva australis), and the seagrass Amphibolis antarctica. Staurocladia haswelli is abundant in summer in sheltered shallow water in Port Phillip and Western Port. Distribution -- Port Phillip to Sydney, probably more widespread in suitable habitat.
