Nate Dawg Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Here's a lobed comb jelly I found being tossed in the waves. I thought it was dead at first, but after an hour or two, its celia began waving. I was taking pictures of the rainbow it was reflecting. It swims around in circles in a wine glass. I'm going to buy some zooplankton at the LFS here. Does anyone know what type that would work best? Link to comment
IamTomm Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Don't those things live deep down? I am probably wrong but I thought things like that didn't last long near the surface. Link to comment

I don't believe so. I know they do just fine in aquariums with little or no current. Currents by a diver's hand are sufficient to render them to pieces. My local aquarium used to have them. There was no pressure seal on the tank or anything. I'm posting a video soon! Link to comment
yoshii Posted March 17, 2011 Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wow! That's awesome! Are you going to set up a separate tank for it? Link to comment
Nate Dawg Posted March 17, 2011 Author Share Posted March 17, 2011 Wow! That's awesome! Are you going to set up a separate tank for it? I'm at a hotel, so It will have to be happy in the wine glass for now. When I leave for home (in about a week), if it's still alive, I may build a tank for it. Comb jellies are the most difficult to care for because they are so sensitive. Link to comment
