Required

Term name (PrefLabel)

ephyrula (or is ephyra more commonly used nowadays?)

Definition

A free-swimming precursor stage of the adult medusa stage, ephyrulae (or ephyrae) are small medusae ("medusoid heads") that separate by budding from the polyp in a process known as strobilation before metamorphosing into typical scyphomedusae, the life stage of the adult medusa typically identified as jellyfish. Strobils can sometimes become scyphomedusae without passing through the ephyrulae stage.
