No.
Stichodactyla gigantea is dioecious (see below) in nature with the females ingesting the sperm and fertilizing their embryos internally. The embryos are internally brooded, developing into miniature copies of the adult.
Dioecious
ADJECTIVE: Botany 1. Having the male and female reproductive organs borne on separate individuals of the same species. 2. Characterized by species in which the male and female reproductive organs occur on different individuals; sexually distinct.
