Aequorea pensilis was recorded for the first time in massive quantities on 17 August 2013 at Damb, Sonmiani; however, only a few stranded specimens were collected from Clifton on 2 December 2012. Both these localities are on the Pakistan coast. These findings suggest that, A. pensilis has been established in this region. This report also provides the first record of A. pensilis from Pakistan and is the first report of a hydroidomedusa from the region. This species is distributed in the Atlantic and Indo-Pacific Oceans, and the Mediterranean Sea.
