Jellyfish (phylum Cnidaria, class Scyphozoa) exhibit a complex life cycle alternating between benthic polyps (scyphistomae) and pelagic medusae. This paper synthesizes current knowledge of their development, propulsion mechanisms (including the role of the velarium and marginal structures sometimes colloquially termed “tails”), and ecological significance. The designation “v11” indicates an updated consolidation of recent morphological findings, while “tail aki” is used here as a mnemonic for the asymmetric kinematic patterns observed in trailing tentacle complexes during locomotion.

The planula settles on a hard surface (rock, shell, dock) and transforms into a . This sessile stage looks like a tiny sea anemone, with a mouth and tentacles facing upward. Polyps can live for months or years, cloning themselves asexually. This sessile stage looks like a tiny sea
