    Clicked on one of the sponser ads... under filter feeders there's a neat looking jellyfish.

    Neat - didn't know you could have Jellys in a reef tank, but that's a different sort of jelly it seems. Most require round tanks, from what I've read.

    Very true. Most jellyfish (gelatinous zooplankton) require a kriesel. This one does not.

    I saw a video on Youtube once...they look really cool. I wonder though how they would fare in a well stocked reeftank. If you get one let us know.....

    i doubt even though its reef safe it could be kept in a reef tank. it would be power head chow.

    Friend of mine had one. and it did great for the first 3 months or so. The thing was very active and real neat to watch. Intresting little buggers, but as you said. it was eventually shredded by a Powerhead.
