From editor or global species database
Distribution Turritopsis nutricula is likely not present along the European coasts; all well documented cases belong either to T. polycirrha (Keferstein, 1862) or to T. dohrnii (see Schuchert, 2004).
The distribution of T. plycirrha is North-East Atlantic, T. nutricula is confined to the tropical to temperate Western Atlantic [details]
Importance Turritopsis nutricula is often cited as the immortal jellfish. However, the species used in these studies was not T. nuticula, but the Mediterranean T. dohrnii. [details]
Type locality Atlantic Ocean, USA, Charleston Harbor [details]
