Most jellyfish don't live very long, but there is an exception, the lighthouse jellyfish. When lighthouse jellyfish become adults, they will return to the state of water body for various reasons. This process can be repeated, so in theory, their life span is infinite, and they can survive without being killed. In addition, when they reproduce asexually, they can develop into new individuals through division and differentiation, and these new individuals have the same genetic material as the original individuals.

1. how long

is the life span of lighthouse jellyfish? Jellyfish is a kind of good-looking creature. They can be cultured. Some jellyfish species specially used for viewing can also be cultured at home. It is good to use them for viewing. However, the life span of jellyfish is not very long. But in fact, there is also an example, that is, the lighthouse jellyfish. In theory, the life span of the lighthouse jellyfish is unlimited. After the lighthouse jellyfish reaches adulthood, they will return to the hydroid state for various reasons, and then develop again, and then return to the hydroid body, and then develop again, in theory, they can carry out this process indefinitely.

Lighthouse jellyfish reproduce asexually. When they are in the form of polyps, they can develop into hundreds of individuals through cell division, and the genetic material of these individuals is arranged in the same way, which can be said to be their own replication. In theory, there is no limit to this process, so it can be said that the life span of lighthouse jellyfish is also unlimited. Of course, when they are killed by natural enemies, they will die, but their life span is uncertain, and they will survive if they are not killed by natural enemies.

2. Can lighthouse jellyfish be kept

as pets? As mentioned above, the life span of lighthouse jellyfish is unlimited, so many people will want to keep them at home. But this is not appropriate. Lighthouse jellyfish are very small in size, some are only four or five millimeters, and the viewing effect is not good. In addition, if they are farmed, they will breed indefinitely and their numbers will continue to grow, so they are not suitable for pet farming at home.
