Is it legal to have a pet jelly fish?

Sure, in New York at least, yet should be tough to keep the jellyfish alive. You need a huge saltwater fish tank. Best way to trap a live one is to get a scoop net and go to a beach and scoop up the jelly fish. I see them all the time on the Long Island, New York beaches, yet never had a desire to eat or keep one. Just be careful of the big jellyfish, man of war, they sting and hurt plus infectious..

It's perfectly legal!
So you had better get to work. It's NOT an easy, cheap and low maintainance project!
Also...The name is not really Jelly Fish....
Just Jelly... welll, jellyfish is fine,...whatever!!!
but you probably already know that!
Good Luck!!!

I don't think anyone should own a jelly fish cause that's not safe

Sure. You could even get one that does not sting. Better yet, come our way later in the season and take a swim with them (most will sting).
