Hi, I was reading about siphonohpores and have a great website describing all the different types of zooid, however, it doesn't describe HOW a siphonophores reproduces.
I researched a bit, and apparently, they can either broadcast sperm and egg into the water, or bud of eudoxids. Is this correct? If so, how do they then developed after fertilisation?

Have you seen this site? http://www.siphonophores.org/SiphLifeCycle.php


Fascinating organisms. Interesting to consider the human body as a collection of individual, very specialised, creatures

We talked about this - "How do Portuguese-man-o-war jellyfish reproduce" - on a previous episode of the Naked Scientists podcast. This reference might provide some additional background on the topic.

The same question was also discussed in this thread: How do Portuguese-man-o-war jellyfish reproduce? here on the forum previously.

Again, quite a useful discussion.
