In middle of March, 2013 tiny Turritopsis polyps were found on a body of a crab Tiarinia cornigera for the first time from Shirahama, Wakayama Prefecure, Japan. Several zooids were cultured for several months, then many Turritopsis medusae were released from well-developed colonies. Young medusae can rejuvenate to the polyp soon.
