Abstract
Some invertebrate predators of polyps of Chrysaora quinquecirrha were identified. They included Caprella equilibra, Callipallene brevirostris, N eopanope texana sayi, Pagurus longicarpus, Libinia dubia, and Cratena pilata. Only C. pilata showed a preference over other possible prey organisms.
