I thought this when I first saw Bruce's(?) shots but it is standard jellyfish behaviour. They go deep in daylight. If the pictures are inverted (I tried it with earlier shots) they (mostly - it could work with some shots) look really wierd, because the sun appears to be coming from underneath. m ======= You know, I've been thinking about it. A friend and I were discussing stinging jelly fish and he directed to me to a page about the Sea Wasp (Australia). Which evidentially swims mainly up with tentacles trailing down (think that is what I read). So maybe the answer doesn't have to do with what type of jelly fish it is. Maybe it has to do with the currents in the water -- like ocean currents. Maybe jelly fish mainly swim with the current, if the current is up, it swims up, if it is down, it swims down. (Of course, they would eventually have to go the other way, but the tendency is probably to go with the current.) I really don't know, and not sure I want to bother to research it. :-) But it would make sense. And it would make sense that the current in the tank was directed downward so they wouldn't all cluster near the top of the water (although some did anyway), but swim down so people could see them.
