Haliclystus antarcticus Pfeffer 1889
On King George Island commonly found on summer periods over red algae and rocks exposed during low tides. Stauromedusae ranging from 3.5-16.2 mm height. Conical calyx clearly distinct from stalk. Eight arms, each with 6-224 capitate tentacles. Living specimens red-orange or green, depending on the substrate. Anchors present. Stalk four-chambered. Specimens from Antarctic Peninsula islands, south Chile and Argentina are considered the same species. Molecular data related the species with an inconspicuous small cnidarian formerly assigned to the class Hydrozoa (Microhydrula limopsicola).
