The species hydrozoan Turritopsis dohrnii, can actually reverse its life cycle.
It has been dubbed the immortal jellyfish, when the medusa of this species is physically damaged or experiences stresses such as starvation, instead of dying it shrinks in on itself, reabsorbing its tentacles and soling the ability to swim. It then settles on the seafloor and develops into a new polyp the jellyfish's previous life stageand after maturing, medusae bud off. The process behind the jellyfish's remarkable transformation is called transdifferentiation and is extremely rare.
