Unlike true jellyfish, which go through the polyp body plan as a juvenile and the medusa as an adult, Portuguese Man-of-War are colonial animals made up of both polyps and medusae. The individual animals within the colony may be in the form of polyps which contain the stinging cells that are used for catching prey or they may have some other role such as reproduction. The individual animals work together and allow the colony to function as a single organism.
