Couple Moon Jelly Questions

[MyFishAddiction]

I got kind of a side gig planning/ setting up tanks for people. So I got a client who wants moon jellies, and I've got some questions for yall.

1. I've heard they need circular tanks because corners are bad for them or something. Is this true?

2. How many gallons per small moon jelly would they/I need?

3. What kind of filtration do they need?

4. I've heard that they can only eat brine shrimp. Is this true? Could I feed this instead? -https://jellyfishwarehouse.com/products/jellyfuel-micro

Thanks in advance!

Public aquariums have been keeping moon jellies for some time. It might be worth trying to contact one of them.

I don't really know the answers to your questions, but I've heard jellyfish tanks need special nonabrasive acrylic and a circular flow pattern.

I have seen moon jellies in various city aquariums but always see them in their floating form. I remember I have seen them in round and square aquariums. They are usually densely packed in those aquariums but they are very large aquariums. The filtration must not be very strong because I see fine particles in there all the time (I figure it must be their food). Don't know what kind of food they eat but they are carnivorous and likely has to have food that moves around and gets stuck to their tentacles. So I think copepods would be fine.

I've heard that too, but contacting is a good idea. I might try that.

there are various kits for moon jellies. many of them are around 2-3 gallons. from what i've heard (this is mostly from youtube videos, i have no experience with sw), you need to keep them in round tanks to prevent them from getting stuck in the corner.
