Chlorohydra survived without external feed when kept in sunlight but not in direct sunlight for eight weeks due to its endo symbiont Chlorella after which the unicellular algae was released in the water too.
BREAKING NEWS​:clap:t2::clap:t2:
That the algae was indeed Chlorella was confirmed with the help of CUBE DSC Chitralekha who got it tested at Blue- green algae department of Indian Agricultural Research Institute New Delhi by Dr Abraham and his colleagues. One of the controls had hydra fed with copepod containing pond water followed by Moina from CUBE Ranchi whose absence was the reason the hydra was starved accidentally. The fed control chlorohydra was seen last on 9th march. Photosynthetic control that had chlorohydra in the dark survived only two days.

Since starvation induces sexual reproduction in hydra,I am hoping that the culture has some hydra eggs which will develop into young hydra in a few months.
