| Description: 1) A medusa makes and releases eggs or sperm. Gametes combine and a zygote forms. 2) The zygote develops into a ciliated bilateral larva. 3) The larva settles and develops into a polyp. 4) The polyp grows and reproduces asexually, eventually producing a branching colony. 5) Some branches of the colony are specialized for capturing and eating prey. 6 Other branches produce and release medusae that begin the sexual phase of the life cycle again.
