Description
This jellyfish resembles a fried egg when seen from above. Amphipods and larvae of the graceful crab, Cancer gracilis, are commonly found on its tentacles, bell and oral arms. It preys upon Aurelia aurita (the moon jelly) and is usually found in or close to areas with large numbers of them. It commonly reaches 50 cm in diameter; its bell is translucent to milky with a bright yellow center; the bell margin has 16 large lobes that alternate with smaller lobes; each lobe has up to 25 tentacles.
This animal was originally part of a pack known as the Jellyfish Pack. The Jellyfish Pack was done at ZooAdmin and each jellyfish is skinned by a different member of that site. These animals will not reproduce and do not require any food/enrichment, acting like ambients. But, guests will still view and enjoy them.
This particular jelly’s skin was contributed by Sheltiefan. Like many other downloads of its time, it was a collaboration that Penguinman created with another user. It includes a gift for guests to purchase.
This download has a couple known issues:
- Although the jellyfish don’t need to be fed, they do eat through a unique behavior of sifting the water for food. Sometimes they don’t perform certain need-fulfilling behaviors like sifting when they should, which will lead to that need being unfulfilled. This is temporary and resolves itself on its own without the need for player intervention.
- Its location icon is a white square in its Zoopedia article.
