Laodicea undulata is a species of cnidarian of the family Laodiceidae described in 1853.[1] It has been recorded in most of the Atlantic Ocean, the Mediterranean Sea, and the North Sea.[2][3]
L. undulata is considered to be biologically immortal through its ability to undergo ontogeny reversal, which refers to it being able to asexually transform from the medusa stage into a polyp.[4]
