Reef Safe or not? I have done a little reseach and seen a little both ways anyone out there tried them?
serafino;1701908; said:One issue is that they have pneumatocysts that can sting and potentially kill your fish or your corals. Also because of their stinging cells they can harm you and inflict serious pain. Jellyfish of any kind are usually a bad idea. You will also need good lighting because of the symbiotic relationship they have with the algae that lives inside of them. I assume you have that though if you are planning to put it in a reef tank. One more reason if your not discouraged already is that they grow fairly large some say 12 inches diameter of their bell some others say only 8 but either way you would need some room since that is a lot of area on the bottom of your aquarium that it will take up and in actuality more than that because you have to keep other corals/living things away from it.
IMO unless you are just going to have a tank for it its a bad idea and its not reef safe.
