Should I get rid of this jellyfish?

Post by Pitachips »

I found this in my tank today. It looks like a jelly fish and moves like one too. The tank setup is about a year old. The opae ula were in a large jar before and have been here since. They are about the same size. Should I remove it?

To err on the side of caution, I'd remove it. A turkey baster should do it.

It's kind of cool looking but might prey on any new larvae that hatch out.

So cool! Set up a tiny tank and see if it will live there! But yes, better remove it.

Oh man it would be so cool to see if you could grow it out separately!
