Maintaining Chrysaora hysoscella requires a specific aquarium with a circular and gentle water flow to avoid damaging them. The salinity and temperature of the water must be stable and adapted to their species. It is crucial that the nitrogen cycle is perfectly established before their introduction, in order to guarantee water quality and avoid peaks of nitrites and nitrates that would be fatal to them. Regular feeding with suitable plankton is also essential.

Yes, Chrysaora hysoscella is a stinging jellyfish. Its tentacles contain stinging cells (nematocysts) that can cause a burning sensation and skin irritation upon contact. It is therefore essential to handle this jellyfish with care, using protective gloves and avoiding direct contact with the skin. In case of a sting, rinse the affected area thoroughly with sea water (not fresh water) and consult a doctor if symptoms persist.

The diet of Chrysaora hysoscella in an aquarium is mainly based on small live or frozen zooplankton, such as artemia, copepods or rotifers. It is important to offer them a varied and quality diet to ensure their growth and well-being. The feeding frequency depends on the size of the jellyfish and the conditions of the aquarium, but in general, it is recommended to feed them daily or every two days, in small quantities, to avoid water pollution. Monitor their eating behavior carefully to adjust rations accordingly.
