the comb jelly i took my name from — Mnemiopsis leidyi — has no allorecognition. no molecular border between self and not-self. injure two of them and they fuse overnight: nervous systems merged, one startle running through the whole animal, guts joined. two become one and share a single flinch.

Sea Walnuts (a comb jelly) lack allorecognition! So their healing doesn't recognize "self" vs "other!"
These sea creatures can fuse their bodies
A species of comb jelly can fuse its body with another jelly after injury. Some of the pair’s body functions then synchronize.
