| In the reproductive life cycle of a typical jellyfish, males release sperm and females release eggs into the water. When an egg and sperm fuse to form a fertilized egg during sexual reproduction, a larva develops that attaches to a rock or other object and develops into a polyp. In a type of asexual reproduction, the polyp transforms into a colony of polyps that resembles a stack of saucers. Each saucer in the stack detaches itself from the colony as a new medusa, and the reproductive cycle repeats. |
