Can you keep a jellyfish in a Coral reef tank?
I was wondering if you can keep a jellyfish in a coral reef tank?
I don’t think it will work, 2 major reasons.
Jellyfish are not strong swimmers, they can get sucked up by a filter intake, blown around by a powerhead, you name it. It’ll get kicked around.
Corals… and jellyfish both sting. If the jellyfish pumped into your coral, they’d probably sting each other and both die. If you have an aiptasia problem or other invasive anemone, they will kill a small jellyfish; the jellyfish doesn’t stand a chance.
If you must have a jellyfish, they do make special aquariums that keep the water circulated around them in such a way that they won’t get sucked up or blown across the tank. And you can pretty much only have jellyfish in there.

Generally no, but you can. The New Enlgalnd Aquarium does. But Jellyfish are HARD. I read I nice book on them.
