Clytia hemisphaerica polyp colony

Descrição:

Description: English: Clytia hemisphaerica polyp grows asexually (vegitatively) by extending stolons on the solid surface, and makes many clonal polyps. The colony will form specialised type of polyp called gonozooid (visible boom right of the picture), if it is fed enough. The gonozooid forms medusa buds on it. Juvenile medusa (jellyfish) then detach and grow to mature jellyfish in a few weeks. Date: 23 April 2021, 19:35:31. Source: Own work. Author: Tsuyoshi Momose.
