Chrysaora plocamia
Description and Comments
I have seen very often big summer blooms of the Schyphomedusae Chrysaora plocamia in several parts of Peru, since late October until even June, i will try to set up all the locations that as far as i rememeber in the area. in this opportunity we are showing some Chrysaora plocamia we sight in Ilo in southern Peru, we recover some medusae to perform the life cycle, this was in the nearby area of the ilo harbour, we saw like more or less 50 jellies. the pic is one individual we recover to the lab.

Hola Javier,
Were you able to complete the life cycle? We are very interested in polyps of C. plocamia.
