Vorteil - that is incredible! I have watched the video several times. Can it live in brackish water? If so, will it eat the shrimp? I wonder if the poor thing will be lonely being the only jelly in tank ..... Thanks for taking the time to share this amazing occurrence and video. 8)

These are so pretty. Toxic but great to look at lol. The article says they eat copepods I wonder if they might eat opae too? Fascinating. It looks very happy and healthy. I like it!

Are they still around? If so, they must be snacking on something (such as shrimp larvae, juveniles) to stick around. Very interesting animals!

I see, keep us updated. These are very interesting animals. They did not reproduce, I assume, right?

How is the Caulerpa Prolifera doing in the brackish water so far? Does it require stronger salt concentration than typical brackish water?
