by Adam Krampera 2 minute read

What are Moon Jellyfish?

Moon jellyfish, scientifically known as Aurelia aurita, are captivating creatures that inhabit oceans around the world. With their translucent bodies and delicate tentacles, they are a sight to behold. But how do you care for these mesmerizing creatures?

Setting up the Perfect Habitat

Creating the ideal environment for your moon jellyfish is crucial for their well-being. Start by setting up a spacious aquarium with a volume of at least 5 gallons. Fill it with saltwater and maintain a temperature between 70-78°F (21-25°C). Install a gentle water flow system to mimic their natural habitat.

Feeding Your Moon Jellyfish

Moon jellyfish primarily feed on small planktonic organisms. To ensure their nutritional needs are met, provide them with a diet of brine shrimp, baby brine shrimp, or specialized jellyfish food. Feed them small amounts multiple times a day to prevent overfeeding and maintain water quality.

Maintaining Water Quality

Keeping the water clean and balanced is essential for the health of your moon jellyfish. Regularly test the water parameters such as salinity, pH, and ammonia levels. Perform partial water changes once in 10 days, replacing about 10-20% of the water to maintain optimal conditions.

Handling and Safety Precautions

While moon jellyfish are generally harmless, it's important to handle them with care. They are really fragile.

Why Choose Moon Jellyfish as Pets?

Moon jellyfish make fascinating pets for marine enthusiasts. Their graceful movements and ethereal appearance can provide a calming and mesmerizing presence in any space. If you're looking to bring the beauty of the ocean into your home, moon jellyfish are the perfect choice.
