Jellyfish

[dots]

Has anyone had any of them come along as hitchhikers?

I noticed one in my nano a few months ago, thought it was cool, but figured anything I thought was cool would die, and paid no thought to it.

I figured it would be siphoned off in a large WC or some other calamity.

I noticed there are at least four tonight.....and that was with just a quick look so there are probably more.

Kinda cool little suckers, and here is a link of someone who has had them as well which shows pictures.

Very cool. As long as they're not those tiny box jellies.

The aquarium store in denios had some brightly colored ones for about $15-20 each. They were about a softball size though.

Paul brought some back from Florida, and he said they were reef safe, but I don't know what happened to them? His were quarter to half-dollar sizes.

Thats pretty cool. Try and take some pics.

I am counting about 6 today. They are pretty small, 3/16" diameter, but will see if I can get a picture.

I had seen some I think they were "thimble" jelly fish at 6th ave in SF before, thinking they were very cool.....but probably wouldn't survive.

I had a cool black one the size of a half dollar once...It's not meant for any serious waterflow. Pumps of any kind and unscreened overflows are not a good environment. Mine lasted about 2 days before getting sucked into a MJ600. It was cool while it lasted though.

Me and Paul collected some Cassiopea Jellies while in Florida.

Both of mine are still doing great in a large frag tray just at the surface of my Florida tank.

 

[wpnorton]

Are you planning on keeping them in the frag tray? Or are you going to introduce them into a display tank?

I dont think they would last long in a normal display tank. For right now, I am just pleased they are still alive.
