I have to wonder, do the people that are so outraged by this also get outraged by someone having a plant on their desk at work? or at kids having sea monkeys? I have no interest in it, nor do I think it's a good idea, but the Jellyfish have no idea they are there. There is no brain, no central nervous system. It doesn't even have a head! It's basically a sophisticated plant, that thinks and acts and moves on impulse the same way a plant does. Yet if someone keeps a small pot plant inside, starved of sunlight and the ability to grow through a restricted pot, no one cares. The plant doesn't know it's there, it has no consciousness nor feeling, it just survives as a plant does.

you can get a tank with fake jellyfish on amazon that look real enough, cruelty free

Why?

Terrible!! Why can't we just left jellyfish alone in their own habitats?

OMG the stress these jellies go thru. The LED lights, the shipping, the tiny aquarium... I"m beyond sad and angry

"To keep the jellyfish happy..." Yeah, I bet it is happy in this tiny aquarium >:( Disgusting

"....they’re very delicate" - yet you want to put them on your counter top. Go figure! Some people have less brains than the animals that amuse them.

It's a God damn Jelly fish. Not some majestic best of the ocean. They multiply by the millions and die in the millions. In parts of the ocean they are even a pest cause there are too many of them. They can live in the harshest of environments and they can't really choose where they go. Thats mother nature choice there. Which is why so many wash up on shore and die a horrible death. So go out a save those if you want.

The ad says 30 day guarantee….does that mean they have a short life span?

I feel like that’s small for three jelly’s

Just another way to exploit animals.... shameful!

Ice bear likes jellyfish even though one wrapped completely around him

I want one

Hey... I know! Let's capture some ethereally beautiful jellyfish that float freely in their vast ocean environment, put them into a teensy, chemical filled plastic box, claim they're too stupid to know the difference, feed them pellets, then watch them float in this unnatural setting 'till we're bored, or they die.

Red flags: 1. The narrator discusses at length the "business," "crowd funding," and "living art." I love art, but not at the expense of torturing living creatures. 2. They offer a 30-day money-back guarantee; if your jellies die, we'll replace them! Free! This makes me want to cry. Life reduced to an infomercial sales pitch. 3. Vanilla Ice is their spokesperson. WTF. Is this candid camera? Let's just leave these specialized feeders and living wonders of nature in the oceans to do the work they do that helps keep us alive and well. We don't have to destroy every life on the planet just because we make our own species' lives so difficult.

This may sound cruel, but would you feel sorry for cockroaches annihilation if your home was infested? I am all against animal torture, but there has been reportedly a world-wide overpopulation of jellyfish due to excessive fishing, which distorted the natural balance. A couple of years ago or so, on the east coast of the Korean peninsula, we've experienced the phenomenon on our skin (notice the pun)! But no, really, children were sent to hospitals, I almost got burned by a gigantic one, the whole city of Gangneung was talking of nothing but jellyfish, and the news were warning about some particularly poisonous species amongst others that were present in the sea. Later I saw on the news that they found a way to clean the waters from jellyfish (of course, don't take this too literally), so that people can safely enjoy their summer breaks, and it seems it worked.
