Comments: Based on molecular evidence, Holland et al. (2004) concluded that Cassiopea andromeda is one of two<br />

Cassiopea to have invaded Hawaii and is native to the Indo-Pacific. It “may be introduced” in the Red Sea (Carlton and<br />

Eldredge, 2009) and is introduced in the Mediterranean (Zenetos et al, 2010).<br />
