Distribution
Obelia dichotoma is a well-known species with a nearly cosmopolitan distribution ( Cornelius 1995); it is absent from Arctic and Antarctic waters ( Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002). In the Southeast Atlantic, it was reported from Angola ( Vervoort 1959, as Laomedea (Obelia) dichotoma ) and South Africa (Millard 1975). Its bathymetric distribution ranges from the intertidal ( Cornelius 1995) to 540 m ( Vervoort 2006).
