Armchair explorers of Google maps recently discovered an unexplored patch of blue on the rogue island nation of Nauru. Researchers from Nauru International University visited the site and confirmed the existence of a freshwater lake which is filled with colorful glowing jellyfish. Nauruans are uncertain how they never noticed such a large body of water on the 21 square mile island but the new Jellyfish is getting a lot of attention. The Nauruan glowing jellyfish is unique in that it can live in fresh or saltwater at any temperature and it has become quite a hit in Japan where the otherwordly creature is kept a specially made, table top aquarium. No one knows why the jellies glow or how they change color in unison but the Nauruan jellyfish is sure to become popular with aquarists worldwide. Jim Stime of Jelliquarium has received the first US shipment of these unbelievable cnidarians and he has already reported the successful reproduction of the Nauruan jellyfish to the polyp stage. Jim is keeping the Nauruan jelly polyps in his new Polyp and Ephyra system and he expects the polyps to strobilate all over the place within the next few weeks. Head on over to Jelliquarium.com to get on the waiting list for the first captive bred Naruan jellies and follow the link to see the glowing and color changing creature in action.

happy april fools
WTF! Four lame stories in a row. One of them would have been funny, but four just discredits this website. I generally peruse this site several times a day for great stories and the quickest reef related news available. Is there a new writer and if so keep looking.
Oh just read the April fools. You got me. My bad.
I agree with Jody. One would have sufficed. The others are redundant and drain the charm from the prank.
What the ….? First of all there is no Lake Nauru on the “rogue” country of the |Republic of Nauru. There are three inland “lakes” on my country. The well known one is the pictureque Buada Lagoon situated in the district of Buada of where I am from. The other lesser known and just as pictureque is the Ijuw Ponds in the district of Ijuw. The third is unknown to most, but us “locals” call it “Ekaow” meaning spring water. It is located also in the pictureque district of Buada. Anyone game enough to explore the jungles (or what’s left of it!) of Nauru ? You may dicover some wonderful creatures! Perhaps Jim Stines can organise something. Remember to fly OUR AIRLINES when coming into Nauru. The Flight Attendents are the Hostesses with the mostest!
