Baby jellyfish, or ephyrae, are tiny, disc-shaped, and golden-hued, floating gracefully in water. They start as larvae, form polyps, then strobilate into ephyrae before becoming mature jellyfish. Their resemblance to bottle caps or red blood cells is surprising!

The jellyfish life cycle is one of the most bizarre and brilliant feats of engineering in nature. Before they get to this "ephyra" stage, they live as a stationary polyp that looks like a tiny sea anemone. That polyp then begins to clone itself, developing into a stack of discs that are released one by one. It's essentially a living, breathing Pez dispenser of baby jellyfish. An absolutely wild manufacturing process.
