Yes. After discharge, the stinging sac (nematocyst) is often pulled out of its cell (nematocyte). The cell (with or without the stinging sac) is then absorbed by the jellyfish. New stinging cells (nematoblasts) are continually being formed from stem cells, normally at a birthing site near the base of the tentacle. As these new cells form new stinging sacs, they travel down the tentacle and eventually take their place in the outer tissue of the tentacle in a precise pattern, which is often specific to their species.
