Ecology of Clytia noliformis

Main Ref.	Calder, D.R., 1991
Remarks	Known from mangroves (Ref. 86642), sounds, caves, shallow coastal benthic habitats (< 25 m) and surface/ near surface water layers, including porpitids and the halopelagic Sargassum sp. fauna (Ref. 86643). Also found in Carrie Bow Cay, Belize, in sand trough and outer ridge on algae, floating Sargassum sp. and substrates composed of dead corals and gorgonians at depths of 14 to 18 m. As with other hydroids, this species exhibits a pelagic medusoid stage (Ref. 87156).
