they reproduse asexually by the female ejecting eggs into the water and the male ejecting sperm into the water and the eggs then get fertalized by the sperm

---

While some corals can reproduce asexually by broadcast fertilization (i.e., they are hermaphroditic), jellyfish never reproduce asexually by broadcast fertilization. By definition, if a female individual and a male individual release gametes into the ocean column, then it is considered sexual reproduction, not asexual.

The Portuguese man of war does reproduce asexually by 'budding' (cloning) polyps throughout most of its adult life, which remain attached to the float (the founding polyp) and then differentiate into one of three functionally distinct types of zooids. But the final broadcast fertilization that occurs during an aggregation of mature adults, is definitely called sexual reproduction.
