At first glance, they look like blubbers. They need a specialized tank (kriesel) with circular flow that prevents them from hitting the walls and bottom and suspends them and the food in the water column. That tank they are in looks like a toy and certainly isn't fit for successful jellyfish keeping. Almost looks like the new Jellyfish Art Kickstarter Tank.. Kine of like keeping a tang in a fish bowl.
They need a specialized diet. Most jellyfish keeper raise baby brine and feed the baby brine with eggs sacks in tact as adult brine looses it's nutritional value. Having owned and kept Jelly's including bluggers, moons and sea nettles for years and owning a kriesel, I can tell you that Jellyfish are a nightmare to keep successfully. Cold water ones need cold water and chillers are a requirement and warm water ones need appropriate temperates that match their collection location. Jellyfish are the pinnacle of a expert sea critters and without proper experience, it's pretty much impossible to have long term success with them. If you like wasting money, they make for a terrific money pit with 0 return on the investment. These aren't like fish that can live for years so plan on having an unlimited amount of disposable income and an unlimited supply of Jelly's. FWIW, I gave up on keeping Jellyfish in my kriesel due to a lack of adequet supply of jellyfish not to mention the feeding headace and cost of moon jellyfish which are about the easiest of them to keep.
This is the Jellyquarium in my office. This is a custom built jellyfish tank designed and patented by a friend of mine.
