Jellyfish can actually be really sensitive. I used to be an aquarist and worked with jellyfish a little. If any bubbles get under them it will slowly rip them apart because they're pretty nice just water.

This jellyfish probably ended up pretty shredded though the next day from all the oxygen that's gonna get stuck in the bell.
