 | | Jellyfish may appear to have no apparent value, but they are, in fact, a very important part of the marine food web. | | | Jellyfish themselves are preyed upon by spadefish, sunfish, loggerhead turtles and other marine organisms. | | | Because jellyfish are sensitive to light, this vertical movement can be important. |

| | Second, jellyfish are highly prone to tank size and shape altering their ability to capture certain prey, although their specific fishing behaviors lead to nearly exclusive capture of certain prey in the wild. | | | In the end, you may not really care, or need to reproduce natural feeding behaviors in the home, but you should be aware that many species of jellies do have specific prey and that they may never reach breeding condition unless provided with the appropriate diet. | | | The nematocysts can also be released into the water column if the animal is disturbed (when swimming through large swarms of these animals divers often experience a sensation likened to swimming through soda water - the 'bubble-popping' sensation derives from the freely-floating nematocysts firing when contacting the skin). |

The difference lies in the fact the box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) only has stinging cells on its tentacles, while the Irukandji (Carukia barnesi) also has stinging cells on its body. | | | Jellyfish are incredibly fragile, yet also incredibly complex. They ‘breathe’ through the entire surface of their bodies, which is able to absorb oxygen and release carbon dioxide, and, even after death, are able to continue to deliver poison from their stingers if the tentacles remain moist. |
