Ecology of Ibacus ciliatus
 
Main Ref. Holthuis, L.B., 1991
Remarks Occurs at a depth range from 49 to 314 m, mostly between 100 and 250 m, and it is found on soft substrates of sand, mud or clay (Ref. 4). It prefers salinities of 34 ppt (Ref. 112711). Phyllosomas grow into juvenile stage with feeding on jellyfish under laboratory conditions. It is suggested that for genus Ibacus, jellyfish may be a viable diet for phyllosomas (Ref. 112087).
