Description 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.
