Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Reproduction occurs only in hydroid stage (Ref. 1663, p. 21). Gonochoristic. Sperm swim from the male gonophore to fertilize the eggs held on female gonophores. Fertilized eggs develop into ciliated planula larvae, swim and crawl; metamorphoses into a hydroid (Ref. 1663).
