Polyps, More Polyps!

In case you don't know what a polyp is, it is basically a jellyfish making machine. The polyp is a big part of the jellyfish life cycle, as the video shows here:












The polyp is sexually produced by two jellies and the polyp then makes baby jellyfish asexually when the right conditions are present. As odd is it is, the polyp never becomes a jellyfish itself.

I have seen polyps (and baby jellyfish!) in my tank before, but I have had a little bit of a outbreak in the amount of polyps I have. Hopefuly I can give some of these to Travis Brandwood so he can raise them to sell on Thinkjellyfish!
