Abstract

It is difficult to adduce any satisfactory explanation for this association but there is reason to believe that the medusae are used not only as a substratum for the growing individuals but it is al so likely that they may find the new environment suitable for securing remnants of animals caught by the jellyfish, as ophiuroids are known to be detritus feeders.
