Do jellyfish ever get their tentacles(?) tangled? If so, do they die? How do they get unknotted?
In: Biology
It’s the slippery factor. But, they can get tangled when put in unnatural conditions like aquariums with artificial continuous flow. They’re evolved to live with fluctuating currents, and their own tentacles slide over and off each other. When kept in close quarters with other things–other jellyfish, corals, fish, etc–they can get caught in those items or sting the live objects to death.
