Cnidarians have long been considered simple animals in spite of the variety of their complex life cycles and developmental patterns. Several cases of developmental conversion are known, leading to the formation of resting stages or to offspring proliferation. Besides their high regenerative and asexual-reproduction potential, a number of cnidarians can
