Jellyfishes are the new exotic pet that everyone wants to bring home! They are gorgeous, no doubt. But having a pet jellyfish can be a tricky and expensive job.
Contrary to their name, jellyfishes are not fish at all. In fact, they are just pure jellies! These wonderful sea creatures don’t have a brain, blood, or bones. They are completely gelatinous and almost invisible to our eyes.
The tiny ghost-like Moon Jellies are a popular pet jellyfish. Jellies are not conventional pets. You can’t take them for a walk or pet them. But they are exotic beings who will bring their luminous glow to your room. Plus, they are very rare pets to find.
If you ever have a beautiful jellyfish of your own, it may be puzzling to think of a name for your exotic pet. But don’t worry, we have your back. Here’s a list of cute and funny names that may be the perfect fit for your pet Jelly!
