Medusa Turritopsis rubra (Farquhar, 1895) (Anthomedusae, Oceaniidae) from Devonport, New Zealand. The size is about 7 mm. This species has until recently been synonymized with T. nutricula McCrady, 1857, a medusa from the western Atlantic. Morphological and molecular data, however, showed it to be distinct from the New Zealand Turritopsis rubra.

The oblong objects on the manubrium are planulae, the species is thus larviparous.

Polyp stage of Turritopsis rubra (Farquhar, 1895). The hydranth is about 1 mm in height
