DistributionObelia dichotoma is a well-known species with a nearly cosmopolitan distribution (Cornelius 1995); it is absent from Arctic and Antarctic waters (Peña Cantero & García Carrascosa 2002). In the Southeast Atlantic, it was reported from Angola (Vervoort 1959, as Laomedea (Obelia) dichotoma) and South Africa (Millard 1975). Its bathymetric distribution ranges from the intertidal (Cornelius 1995) to 540 m (Vervoort 2006).
