Discussion
- I had to make a few of guesses to fill gaps. I based those assumptions on general results for other Scyphozoans
- This entry is about mudusae only; no mass info availeble for the polyp stage
Facts
- Two reproduction modes: asexual when polyp and sexual when medusae (Ref: ADW)
- Asexual reproduction produce either new polyp (budding) or ephyrae (strobilation) (Ref: ADW)
- This species lives in symbiosis with zooxanthellae (Ref: ADW)
- Zooxanthellae are taken at the polyp stage and are transmitted via asexual reproduction but not via sexual reproduction (Ref: ADW)
