Among laboratory samples, all the ad*lt Turritopsis observed regularly undergo this change.

However, there are still many mysteries surrounding the turritopsis dohrnii. While the process of reverting from its ad*lt-phase to a polyp was observed several times, it hasn’t been observed yet in nature, only in laboratory environments..
