Ocean drifters: Are you interested in ever keeping a Jellyfish?
You may have seen jellyfish tanks at public aquariums, and you may have even seen jellyfish tanks at reef shows, but have you ever seriously thought about keeping jellyfish yourself? The pulsing and soothing movements make jellyfish tanks mesmerizing to watch and the slowly changing colored lights that are included with many jellyfish tanks only add to the experience. Keeping jellyfish is not a decision to be taken lightly and their care is different than other fish and corals, so you can’t just throw them into your reef. The extra commitment starts with learning their care and setting up a tank specifically designed for them. Yes, it may be a lot of extra work, but still, have you thought about it? Are you interested in ever keeping a jellyfish?
Pro Tip: Specialized care, specialized tanks, and specialized food as well as specific water parameters, flow, lighting, and acclimation procedures are all important for keeping jellyfish. Although most jellyfish are kept in species-specific tanks, other species may be added with careful consideration.
