Jellyfish

Make sure to check out our Jellyfish. Their tanks are cylindrical and the water is moving inside because Jellyfish aren’t meant to come into contact with hard objects. In the wild, they float about the oceans on the tides and currents. Our tanks mimic this pattern.

Most Jellyfish are harmless. If you got stung by a Moon Jellyfish it would be no more than an irritant. Some jellyfish, however, can kill.

Things to do

Jellyfish have no nerves; no blood, no heart and no brain, and their bodies consist 95% of water!
The Moon Jellyfish eat tiny micro plankton and small shrimp called Artemia. These are also known as Sea Monkeys.

A species of jellyfish, the Box Jellyfish (Sea Wasp) kills more people than any other marine creature each year!
Jellyfish move like ghosts through the water. They swim around by contracting movements of their umbrella or float easily.
Jellyfish have been around for more than 650 million years, and different species of jellyfish can be found in all the worlds’ oceans, which means that they outdate both dinosaurs and sharks.
