Description of life cycle and mating behavior High abundances of ephyrae during late autumn can be explained by the large number of poly disc scyphistomae preceding to the appearance of ephyrae (Ref. 3062). Polyps begin to develop in August-September, matures in October and dies in November (Ref. 3271). Budding doesn’t occur in winter months (Ref. 7721). Can live up to 2 years (Ref. 3049).
