God, these guys are so adorable. I never knew they retracted their bells upon touch! Bad bay nettles get the boop 👆. Seeing them up close is also really cool, too, I never see an up close look at bay nettles online!
I always thought jellyfish were just gelatinous sea creatures back then, but I learned that jellyfish have a muscular system for movement and they have a nerve net, which functions like a brain, and is located in the centre of the bell.
I live in Wisconsin, and so during the winter, sometimes I turn the heat down to 65°F in my house if I leave for vacation. If I want to keep a sea nettle, do I need to get a water heater for my tank??
Bay Nettles do well in a variety of tanks- we recommend something with room for them to stretch out those long tentacles and arms! The Neo 15, Medusa Desktop tank, Omni 8 and Pulse 80/160 are good options. We have also kept smaller bay nettles in the neo 4.

Aren’t they remarkable? They are so simple, yet a deeper dive into their biology reveals how clever and intricate they are.
Great video; very informative. I was wondering if you guy would be willing to make a video about how to acclimate new pet jellies?
That is next on our list! Should be coming out soon. 😁
Truly beautiful creatures. How long do they typically live in captivity ?
2-4 years is pretty typical!

Will you guys be restocking all your jellyfish and tanks soon?? I was wanting to purchase three of them along with three tanks c:
So salinity will affect the color of jellyfish, right?
Not really, certain strains of jellyfish do better at different salinities :)
How big is the tank with the normal jellys? And how many gallons do you sugest for bay nettles?
3 to 5 XD is that also for adult bay nettles?
What tanks are suggested for these types?
