Description of life cycle and mating behavior Life cycle: Eggs develop into planula stage within the egg capsules and hatch as free swimming planulae. Settled planulae metamorphose into primary polyps. Mature polyps undergo asexual reproduction through budding and develop into swimming polyps which later settle. Medusae then detach themselves from the polyp.
