The ephyra, a free-swimming jellyfish, is a vital part of the marine ecosystem.

Ephyra are often found in coastal waters and estuaries, where they feed on plankton and other small organisms.

As the ephyra grows, it undergoes a process of metamorphosis, transforming into an adult jellyfish.

The ephyra stage is a critical period for jellyfish, as it is during this time that they are most vulnerable to predation and environmental changes.
