Male seahorses become pregnant, not the female. Seahorses mate for life and after the male gives birth, he stores the young in a pouch on his underside. Mating takes place in the male's pouch.

Jellyfish are dioecious; that is, they are either male or female. In most cases, to reproduce, a male releases his sperm into the surrounding water. The sperm then swims into the mouth of the female, allowing the fertilization of the ova to begin. However, moon jellies use a different process: their eggs become lodged in pits on the oral arms, which form a temporary brood chamber to accommodate fertilization.

After fertilization and initial growth, a larval form, called the planula, develops from the egg. The planula larva is small and covered with cilia. It settles onto a firm surface and develops into a polyp. The polyp is cup-shaped with tentacles surrounding a single orifice, perhaps resembling a tiny sea anemone. Once the polyp begins reproducing asexually by budding, it is called a segmenting polyp, or a scyphistoma. New scyphistomae may be produced by budding or new, immature jellies called ephyra may be formed. Many jellyfish can bud off new medusae directly from the medusan stage.

Most jellyfish have a lifespan of two and a half months; few live longer than six months.

how do puffer have sex?

They prefer in foreplay. Engaging mostly in oral sex, this act is purely due to their name. Scientists gave them their names because of how often the females would give the males a blowjob.
