The free swimming adult form of a jelly fish is called?
The free-swimming adult form of a jellyfish is called a medusa. This stage is characterized by its bell-shaped body and tentacles that hang down, allowing it to swim by pulsating its bell. Medusae are typically the reproductive stage in the jellyfish life cycle, producing gametes for sexual reproduction.

How do you make a jellyfish?
Jellyfish reproduction involves several different stages. In the adult, or medusa, stage of a jellyfish, they can reproduce sexually by releasing sperm and eggs into the water, forming a planula. In this larval stage of jellyfish life, the planula hooks on to the bottom of a smooth rock or other structure and grows into another stage of jellyfish life, the polyp--which resembles a miniature sea anemone. During this stage, which can last for several months or years, asexual reproduction occurs. The polyps clone themselves and bud, or strobilate, into another stage of jellyfish life, called ephyra. It is this form that grows into the adult medusa jellyfish.
