Jellyfish

[thefishtank]

Good Morning & Happy New Year Everyone! My husband and I own an aquarium design and maintenance company in Houston TX. We have a client looking for Nettle Jellyfish for his 600 Gal Jelly tank. I am conversing with a company in Dubai, but wanted to know if anyone knows of a legit company that they have dealt with, in or outside of the US. I have a company that I deal with in the US for Moon Jellies but of course they are not able to get Nettles at this time. Just thought I would throw a line out. Thanks Everyone (=

Chrysaora jellies are commonly kept and traded by public aquariums, but I don't know of any commercial sources. They are seasonal in the wild, but in captivity, they can be cultured year-round. I wrote an article on them back in 2015 for Coral magazine. I don't think the article itself is available online, but you might be able to find a copy of that issue:

One other possibility is that Gulf Specimen Company sells nettles seasonally, but I don't know if they sell direct to the public:
