I've seen them for sale many times, while they aren't really "reef safe", I don't believe they are too difficult to care for. At least compared to other jellies.
Yes, they sting some. And they will end up in the overflow if the flow is too highDo you know why they are not reef safe? I wonder if they sting corals.
Wow, that's so cool! Thanks for responding
I am actually setting up a nano for these guys right now.
Planned equipment:
Aquamaxx 18.1 gallon rimless tank
Fluval Aquaclear 50 with a sponge attachment on the intake
Either a Kessil A160 tuna sun (to keep macros) or a spare Nanobox Tide that I have
I will be using oolite sand
Good luck. I think this is possible to do despite the issues TiaDav ran into. They may be different enough that you won't have the same problems. However, if you look them up at Live Aquaia you'll see they say 'Expert Only'. That said, you do realize that these guys can get quite big, right? The spot we see them in fairly large numbers is cool, and they often have different colored feather like 'tentacle' which makes for a nice look. But I think the full grown adults get to be 8" to 10" in diameter. I'm not sure about this, but I think they have a rather short life span of only a couple of years.
If you want help locating some in the wild (Florida Keys) where you can pick the size and color you want, send me a PM and we can discuss it. We find them in shallow water that is super easy to snorkel in. And you're just a very long days drive away from the Middle Keys.
