They produce eggs which are fertilised by sperm. The larvae settle on the sea bed and grow in to something that looks very similar to an anemone. This buds off little polyps which grow in to adult jellyfish to start the cycle all over again.

The eggs and sperm develop in special areas called Gonads inside the body wall. The gonads are frequently very colourful and add greatly to the beauty of the living Jellyfish. When all of the eggs and sperm are fully developed, they are released into the stomach and then through the mouth into the sea. Some of the eggs stick to the frilly mouth lips which surround the mouth of the Jellyfish. There they are fertilized by the sperm and continue to develop. As in all many-celled animals, the microscopic fertilized eggs begin a series of cell divisions which finally result in an embryo. However, the embryo does not develop directly into a baby jellyfish, but becomes a tiny, flattened creature called a Planula.

The "male" jellyfish release sperm in the water, and the "female" jellyfish absorbs it through the mouth. They form a plannula larvae.
