Hello everyone, so today I will briefly 
show you how to prepare the food for 


2
00:00:09.749 --> 00:00:14.608
<i>Cassiopea</i> polyps. As I told you before in
the aquarium we can feed <i>Cassiopea </i>with


3
00:00:14.908 --> 00:00:18.748
 <i>Artemia salina</i> nauplii, they come 
in cysts as you can see here,


4
00:00:19.048 --> 00:00:23.616
 and first of all so to prepare it we just 
need seawater, air, and the cysts, and then 


5
00:00:23.916 --> 00:00:30.360
they will hatch within 24-48 hours. 
So first of all I will put this in order


6
00:00:30.630 --> 00:00:33.260
to modulate the flux of the of the air.

7
00:00:34.340 --> 00:00:37.179
Then I will put seawater,

8
00:00:38.579 --> 00:00:40.240
 then we put the air,

9
00:00:47.180 --> 00:00:50.960
and now we will put just
 one spoon of the cysts


10
00:00:55.250 --> 00:00:56.500
and it's done.

11
00:01:00.370 --> 00:01:04.112
So the <i>Artemia salina</i> nauplii are 
attracted by light, so they will come 


12
00:01:04.312 --> 00:01:07.400
here and now we just need to pick them up.

13
00:01:13.660 --> 00:01:15.060
Now we will feed the polyps.

14
00:01:17.610 --> 00:01:22.833
So here we have the polyps for strobilation.
 They are inside seawater, nonfiltered seawater


15
00:01:23.033 --> 00:01:27.646
 at 28°C. While here as you can see we
 have the other two tanks and we keep


16
00:01:27.846 --> 00:01:33.157
 them in maintenance at 24°C with
 seawater, of course non-filtered


17
00:01:33.357 --> 00:01:38.880
seawater, and here we feed
 them the polyps once a day.


18
00:01:40.400 --> 00:01:44.291
While here, for example, we have some
 juveniles and we keep them in these


19
00:01:44.591 --> 00:01:51.190
huge tanks, and then here we have the 
adults, and both are juveniles and adults


20
00:01:51.390 --> 00:01:54.800
 are kept in aquaria with a 
continuous flow of water


21
00:01:55.290 --> 00:01:57.432
and fed once a day

22
00:01:57.710 --> 00:02:03.940
and we keep them with a 12 hours
 light-12 hours dark photoperiod.
