In most species, sexes are separate, and fertilization occurs externally in the ocean. In some species, fertilization occurs in the female’s gastrovascular cavity, after sperm are drawn into it. Some species reproduce asexually by splitting in half or by breaking the pedal disk into fragments, which grow into new individuals.
