Life cycle of moon jellyfish

Life cycle of moon jellyfish
The life cycle of Aurelia contains two alternating generations - polyps and jellyfish. In the spring, each polyp transforms into multiple young jellyfish that detach from each other and start their independent life. Fertilized eggs produced by adult jellyfish develop into larvae, which settle down and transform into polyps.
