Summary

Aurelia aurita undergoes both asexual and sexual reproduction during its life cycle. Sessile polyps metamorphose into strobilae, which produce ephyrae by asexual budding. The ephyrae mature into medusae, which produce zygotes and reproduce sexually. Planula larvae that hatch from fertilized eggs eventually attach to a new substrate and develop into polyps.
