I cant get them here, but is anyone thinking (or already have) a jelly fish?
Are they difficult to look after?

Very hard to look after

You geneerally need specialised circular tanks with protected inlets for the filtration and powerheads to stop the jellyfish shredding themselves.

I can't recall reading of any successful hobbiests keeping them.

after having first hand encounters with jelly fish algae srubing would be a little

I had some red algae grow in my system for over 6 months. A fellow aquarist friend of mine wanted a clipping of this algae so i sent some to him.
He put it in his system and 2 days later he contacted me to tell me he had hundreds of tiny jellyfish swimming around his tank. He sent me a photo (alas i dont have it anymore) of one of them, closed up the inlets and monitored their progress. Sadly they were all gone within a day or so.

I dont think they are suitable for home tanks.
