This jellyfish belongs to the order Hydroids, class Hydrozoa, and family Anemonidae. It is large for a hydromedusa, with a diameter of the umbrella usually 4-5 cm, but sometimes it can reach 10 cm. The umbrella is low and dome-shaped, and of the four rays, two opposing ones are bifurcated into two, making a total of six. In addition to 10-15 long, slender thread-like umbrella-edge tentacles, many short, rod-like tentacles are found on the umbrella edge and on the upper umbrella, and the total number can reach more than 200. The tentacles on the upper umbrella are connected by afferent tubes. In addition, many umbrella-edge tubercles and equilibria can be seen on the umbrella edge. The gonads develop by forming folds on the rays. The mouth stalk is reddish brown, the gonads are brown, and the tentacles on the upper umbrella are red and purple, making the whole thing extremely beautiful. It is found along the coasts of Honshu and Kyushu in spring, but the polyp stage is not yet known.
