Jelly Fish?

[-=Zepplock=-]

This is a second time I see a jellyfish in my tank.
This time it is brown, 3mm wide and very active.
But how?

I just purchased a mandarin, so I guess it came in the bag with the fish.

I've got Mandarin from Amazon Pets in San Jose - pretty nice store.
I have pics, not very good ones though. Will post tonight.

You could post that on the invert forum zep maybe leslie or someother folks could identify it... as most jellys have potent stingers....

how long do they live in captivity for?

My last one survived for 2 days ;-(
I don't know what special care they require.
Most likely they can't be hosted in community talk and require special conditions.

delicate bodies, don't like getting smashed by PH currents onto glass/aquaria or rocks and corals....

Curious, I saw some little brown thimble(?) jelly at 6th Ave before.....I think they are on a restricted list if I remember correctly? Always wanted to ask about them, does/has anyone ever tried to keep these or seen them?

There are special JF aquariums where water actually blows right with the glass as to avoid the JF's from hitting the glass and staying in the middle of the tank
