The species has gastric saccules and four rhopalia at the side of the bell. Each pedalium has five or six fingers or tentacles. The gastric saccules are finger-shaped and of similar length as the depth of the bell cavity ( Kramp 1961 ). The species has a painful sting. The exumbrella diameter is 100 mm . Its pedalia show distinct unilateral branching and the pedalial canal possesses a prominent ‘spike’ at the bend. These features are characteristic of Chiropsoides buitendijki as described by Gershwin (2006a) . Distribution and habitat : It inhabits the mangrove and coastal areas, and is commonly found in Teluk Bahang. Originally, the species was described under the genus Chiropsalmus , until recently revised as Chiropsoides ( Bentlage et al. 2009 ) .
