As with most scyphomedusae, Cyanea capillata's ephyrae arise by fission from a diminutive polyp stage during a process termed strobilation (well described by Russell, 1970).

Scyphozoan polyps typically produce juvenile medusae by the process of strobilation, which can be induced in various ways.

One example is the process of strobilation in symbiotic scyphozoans such as Mastigias (Sugiura, 1964) and Cassiopeia (Colley and Trench, 1985); these jellyfish produce ephyrae only in the presence of Symbiodinium.
