The Darwin Tank Lets You Keep Jellyfish at Home

At first glance, I thought ‘How cruel!’ Then I thought, ‘Wait- maybe not…’ so I looked it up.

Since jellyfish have no brain or central nervous system, they really have no idea where they are anyway. All they need to feel normal is the right kind of water, food, and a current (which the tank has). Basically, keeping jellyfish in an aquarium is like keeping a plant in a pot. Guilt-free jellies in your living room… you’ve got an extra $1,500 and you’re into that kind of thing.

More info here or on their Kickstarter page (they met their goal, so it’s happening).
