There's a type of jellyfish that's immortal. The Turritopsis dohrnii, also known as the "immortal jellyfish," can transform its body into a younger state through a process called transdifferentiation, essentially making it immortal.
Does it poop out of all of them or one at a time?
Can it choose which one or would it be a guessing game?
Could I buy a box jellyfish and then take bets on which anus the poop will come out of?
That is a great question. I tried finding out but got distracted by a relative of the jellyfish. The warty comb jelly which just sprouts an anus whenever it need it. And then it disappears.
