My head is full of science. :psyduck:
JellyWatch.org is jelly of my jellies.
who needs aliens when you got jellyfish?
All of them look like abstract pieces of art for some reason.

It's fl0w, documentary edition.
The bio luminescent ones have been my favorite for years.
Disco Jelly fish @ 2:55
And that is why I love the ocean. So much variety, so unique, so elusive, so beautiful, so alien yet terrestrial. This is why we are a Blue Planet. We have yet to discover most of our own planet.
There is also no such thing as a fish. After all, in the 16th century, seals, whales, crocodiles and hippos were called fish and cuttlefish, starfish, crayfish, jellyfish and shellfish still are.

they're so disgusting

We've established that non-fish aren't really fish. What are fishes then. un-fish?
I love deep sea biology. It's all so alien and mysterious.
If I ever get rich, I will have a wall in my room that's a fish tank filled with disco jellyfish. Just need need some way to produce microbes in mass.

It would be cheaper to build a submersible trailer home and live on the bottom of the ocean. Your tanks glass would have to have no flat surfaces because these jellies never meet a hard object in their life and any impact with a flat surface would stress or kill them. The tanks water circulation would have to be constant and clean, the water pressure would have to be around [i]11,000psi[/i] Which would make any large glass window nearly impossible. your tank would have to be a seamless pressure vessel and any windows would be a major deficit to structural integrity. Then on top of that, you don't even know if these animals would last long in captivity.
