In the Aurelia life cycle how are young medusas released?

In the Aurelia life cycle, young medusas, or jellyfish, are released from the polyp stage through a process called strobilation. During this phase, the polyp undergoes asexual reproduction, forming a stack of juvenile jellyfish, known as ephyrae. Once fully developed, these ephyrae detach and swim away, eventually maturing into adult medusas. This life cycle showcases the unique alternation between polyp and medusa forms characteristic of many jellyfish species.
