    Yes, especially what the babys do when they hatch.
    Do they roam around?
    or find there parents?

    Found this:
    Jellyfish reproduce both sexually and asexually. Upon reaching adult size, jellyfish spawn daily if there is enough food. In most species, spawning is controlled by light, so the entire population spawns at about the same time of day, often at either dusk or dawn.[32]Jellyfish are usually either male or female (hermaphroditic specimens are occasionally found).

    In most cases, adults release sperm and eggs into the surrounding water, where the (unprotected) eggs are fertilized and mature into new organisms. In a few species, the sperm swim into the female's mouth fertilizing the eggs within the female's body where they remain during early development stages. In moon jellies, the eggs lodge in pits on the oral arms, which form a temporary brood chamber for the developing planula larvae.

    After a growth interval, the polyp begins reproducing asexually by budding and, in the Scyphozoa, is called a segmenting polyp, or a scyphistoma. New scyphistomae may be produced by budding or form new, immature jellies called ephyrae. A few jellyfish species can produce new medusae by budding directly from the medusan stage. Budding sites vary by species; from the tentacle bulbs, the manubrium (above the mouth), or the gonads of hydromedusae. A few species of hydromedusae reproduce by fission (splitting in half).[29]

    In the second stage, the tiny polyps asexually produce jellyfish, each of which is also known as a medusa. Tiny jellyfish (usually only a millimeter or two across) swim away from the polyp and then grow and feed in the plankton.[citation needed] Medusae have a radially symmetric, umbrella-shaped body called a bell, which is usually supplied with marginal tentacles - fringe-like protrusions from the bell's border that capture prey. A few species of jellyfish do not have the polyp portion of the life cycle, but go from jellyfish to the next generation of jellyfish through direct development of fertilized eggs.

    I find Jellyfish to be some of the most beautiful animals in existence. They're beautiful, yet deadly!

    Sorry to derail the lovely jellyfish topic here but this pooped into my head earlier...

    I used to wonder what friendship could be,
    But then I took an arrow to the knee~

    ...aaaaand back to jellyfish.

    You now have 5 Merriweather points.
    Sadly, I need to spread more rep before I hand it to you again... ._.

    Fluttershy is your tree, you gain 4 Merriweather Points.
    Achievement get!

    Ok, this is what annoys me about digital art...
    The Rarity picture I did was a surprise to myself about how good it came out (just some self praise).
    Now? Everything I draw is just a mangled mess of rough lines.
    I need a vector tool, but OpenCanvas sucks for professional outlook as it's limited and free.

    *rages while pulling out hair*
    Maybe because it's 3:47am and I did a 10 hour art exam recently... maybe...

    all I do is just doodle around and something just comes out of it, but I'm really good at drawing dragon eyes for some reason

    and yes the exam does have something to do with it
