Behavior
Cyanea capillata are continual swimmers that can reach speeds of up to several km per hour and can cover great distances with the aid of marine currents. They are known to form shoals. Kilometer long assemblies can be seen off the coast of Norway and in the North Sea. Cyanea can be dangerous to swimmers when contact occurs, but they do not actively hunt humans. (Grzimek 1972)
