http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=88A4ZPmUyGU

I found a Nassarius snail for sale at a marine store and bought it; in theory these are the cleaner sales that are supposed to go with the jellyfish. This snail is so adorable with its little air siphon that it uses to sniff out food. It also moves surprisingly fast.

After reading about them, I think they aren't suited for jellyfish tanks; this video kind of shows why. Nassarius snails are scavengers whose primary diet is the meat of dead animals; they are fast moving and quick to find carcasses to feed on. I don't see jellyfish eating a lot of squid or shrimp, so it turns out I'll probably have to feed this guy separately until I move him to an appropriate tank.
