@eclectech I went to an aquarium once that had a lifecycle for jellyfish, and honestly, it's only slightly less bonkers than "grows on plants in forests".
I was completely dumb founded, to the point where my wife more or less had to stop me stopping random strangers and getting them to read the display.

@tmcfarlane A jellyfish has an in-between stage as a POLYP?! What?!

@eclectech yeah, they grow that little tree of jellyfish and then all the little'ins float off into the void.
(when I say my wife "more or less" had to stop me, I mean, yeah, she stopped me, but people needed to know!)

@tmcfarlane Absolutely. Genuinely astounded by that. Nature is wild.

@eclectech Also mentioned was that fact that some can actually turn back into a polyp. So "jellyfish grow on trees", and "some jellyfish are immortal", was all in like one display. I do love an aquarium.
