polyp---sea anenome, medusa---jellyfish Phlycabs In plain English a polyp is a cylinder with tentacles at the top. The Hydra looks like a tin can with slender arms coming from the top of its body. This body form does not move and the animals are trappers. The medusa is an umbrella shaped structure with tentacles hanging down from it. The jellyfish is an example. These animals move. During the reproductive stages of the jellyfish there is a time when they take on the polyp form. Then they bud off and become medusa. Nighthawk
How do polyp and medusae in coelenterates alternate with each other?
Polyp is a asexual form which has a cylindrical body just like hydra whereas the medusa form is sexual form and has an umbrella shape. In case of Aurelia, the adult is sexual form. Males and females are separate and after copulation the female releases eggs which develop into a hydra like structure called ephyra larva which is called polyp form. This larva by budding produces umbrella shaped medusa forms. Thus the asexual polyp form alters with the sexual medusa form. This alternation of generations is called metagenesis.
