Many mature medusan individuals of Moerisia horii (Uchida and Uchida 1929) were collected from Oarai, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan in November, 2012. Their morphology including nematocysts and GFP pattern were examined in large medusae among them. They are much different in every trait from the largest medusa so far been recorded from Enoshima, Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, and considered as a giant medusa grown up in the sea like a migratory salmon.
