Self-repairing symmetry

The juvenile form of the moon jellyfish usually has 8-fold symmetry. If it gets injured and loses some arms, it rearranges the remaining parts and recovers radial symmetry within a few days. So, if only 5 arms remain, it will become a pentamer.
Thread 🔽 When injured, some marine invertebrates (such as starfish) regenerate their missing limbs. Instead of doing this, moon jellyfish reorganize their body to become symmetrical again. This unique strategy, named symmetrization, was seen for the first time in a 2015 study.

Collection of sea urchin shells, a beautiful display of five-fold symmetry in nature.

Thread There are about 950 known species of sea urchins, so this is just a sample.

Sea urchins are echinoderms (a group of animals which also includes sea stars, sea cucumbers, brittle stars and crinoids). Adult echinoderms are characterized by their radial symmetry, usually 5-point ⭐
