Irukandji Jellyfish

[WDLV]

Are these collected? I want some for a species tank.

I saw a thread here in RC about this Jellyfish...
they can be fatal with their stings correct?

I would think no. From the show I saw on them, they are tiny, to the point of not being able to see them. There is also the fact that they can kill you.

 

[Xgame2k]

you can most certainly see them but they are small. i would get a couple if i could find them.

 

[WDLV]

Yes. Very deadly... thus the attraction.

 

[Flightpipe]

Just get a glock and put it in your tank if you want to look at deadly!

Whatever works for ya GL.

They are not collected.
danger aside they are very fragile. Colliding with a tank wall would kill them so they could never be shipped anywhere.

I wonder how they got it from Northern QLD to Townsville to be raised in captivity. Makes me think it's a bunch of poo that they can't be collected. Just sayin' it sounds like the source is contradicting themselves.
