Sea Jelly Spectacular - Influence on China's Aquariums

Over the past 500-plus million years, these beautifully tetra-radial symmetrical jellies have diversified with over 200 scyphozoans, and possibly up to a couple of thousand hydrozoan species. They can live for only a few hours to six months in the wild, though in our aquariums, they have lived much longer. They have even diversified how they reproduce from asexual budding and fission to sexual reproduction, which makes our job of maintaining sustainable populations within our facilities all the more challenging, and no wonder these amazing jellies have fascinated us for decades.
