A Note From the Caretaker. The purple-striped jellies can be difficult for us to obtain for display, so if needed we will switch the tank to another species, such as the local Lion’s mane jelly.
The purple stripped jellyfish lacks the sessile polyp stage, so the larva just directly develops into the ephyra stage, which is the stage where jellyfish can still float around, but are still pre-mature. Which then grows ino a fully developed adult jellyfish, and then continue on in it's life cycle.
