Moon Jellyfish

The most popular of our pet jellyfish, Moon Jellyfish are unique for their opaque white colour and relaxing free flowing movement. 

Our jellies do not have brain. This is most animal friendly setup you can get.

Relatively easy to keep, Moon Jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) typically come from cold or mild water temperature environments, and so are already bred to be familiar with the type of water they’ll live in during their stay in your tank.

As they are the most common species, the methods for looking after these jellyfish are well established and quite straightforward.

Caring for Moon Jellyfish

This is the most common jellyfish that you’ll find in jellyfish stores, famous for their opaque white color and relaxing swimming movements. It’s also relatively easy to keep, and the husbandry is very well established.

Moon Jellyfish tend to come from cold to temperate waters, and are bred commercially due to their versatility and environmental friendliness, so ask your dealer what kind of jellyfish strain they stock, with a preference to temperate strains.

The Moon Jellyfish we provide are from a temperate environment, and so a chiller is not required for keeping Moon jellies in any of our jellyfish tanks.
