Description
This large and spectacular jellyfish is common during the summer months in New South Wales coastal waters and estuaries, including Sydney Harbour. It is easily recognised by the large, semi-transparent, rounded bell covered in regularly spaced, white dots. The trailing tentacles also end in whitened spots. The white-spotted jellyfish is causing a problem overseas, particularly in the Caribbean region. It may have hitched a ride in ships’ ballast tanks, travelling from Australia and the Pacific region to the Caribbean.
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 Ghost. 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 one known issue:
- 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.
