I dont know if it helps, but I'll tell you what they do:

They have them in cicular tanks, with slow water circulation. The water quality, of course, is spot on. Nitrates about 5ppm. They have aobut 10 or so in a tank that must be about 200 litres I guess. They feed twice daily: One group gets fed copropods (about 20ml of dense copropod solution), the other brine shrimp napuli (about 500ml of less dense solution).

Hope yours is still alive

Unfortunately it is no longer alive. I wasn't expecting him to live too long for a couple of reasons, he was getting stuck in the rocks because he did not have a proper environment for a jellyfish, as you were saying, they need a round tank with no corners or rocks to get stuck on. Also I have a small (and I mean really small) snowflake eel in the tank. When the jellyfish got stuck, the eel started to play "tear the jellyfish up" game. So, not too much of a loss price wise, but still sad to no longer have it.

Awwww, what a bugger yeh, they need a pretty specialised tank I think. At least it wasn't too expensive though.
