One of the labs where I work has a jelly tank (small jelly's 1/4 inch to 2 inches) and there are always little pale crabs chewing on them.; 12:36 PM

eriko- Jellys give me the willies in general. The thought that they are being eaten alive by lazy ass crabs doesn't help.

d.w.- Crab sez: I'm xtreme!

dbtp- This is why I don't eat jellyfish.; 1:35 PM
