Best Answer

Spawning most often takes place in the fall (Kurlansky 2004). The reproductive parts of the man-of-war are either male or female (Kurlansky 2004). The gametes are formed by the gonozooids and shed into the water. The sperm of one colony joins with the egg of another colony (Lee 2003). Physalia physalis also reproduce by asexual, mitotic division or budding (Lee 2003).
