Unlike many hydromedusae, these jellyfish do not have a sessile stage. Rather, they spend their entire lives in the water column as plankton. The genus Benthocodon can be found near the sea floor in the Pacific Ocean from Antarctica to California [5] to the Arctic Ocean. [6] The benthocodon's predators are mainly larger fish.
