Aquacultured Moon Jellyfish
The aquacultured Moon Jellyfish are a unique and fascinating species that need specific Kreisel housing to thrive. Kreisel tanks are a circular tank designed to display these critters without having them get sucked into filtration (available on Petco.com). These displays utilize flow that creates a "gyre" or circular flow pattern that pushes the Jellyfish and their food into the center of the tank. The outer bell of the Moon Jelly is almost perfectly transparent, with a second bell within the first, and visible blueish veins that loosely resemble a four-leaf clover! Food is brought into a stomach like organ via pulsing cilia located around the bell. This mechanism doesn't differentiate between live prey and a high-quality thawed food, so anything from Gamma Frozen Foods or Nutramar Live Foods for your new inverts are easily accepted options. Nutramar Live Artemia Nauplii is the ideal option, however, Nutramar Live Tigrio Copepods and Gamma Brine Shrimp will provide nutritional value.
