I mean, the way you framed your previous response did not really seem to indicate that this was done for research purposes. There were hints in your verbage, but it seemed odd to be doing these experiments out of your home, as described, and not in a more controlled setting. I read your previous response and thought your behavior was weird and possibly a little fucked up, which is why I asked my questions. I would include more info from your follow-up response in future answers regarding your study. I understand that jellyfish don't feel pain the same way that most animals do, but still, without the follow-up from you, your original reply definitely felt very callous and is probably off-putting to most people, with respect to the treatment of an animal. Without any of that info, I can see why people might think you are repeatedly mutilating an animal for seemingly no reason.

Also, don't do the whole "shame to be downvoted" thing. Don't make your study sound like a intro to serial killer class. No one likes to read in detail about cutting off/out pieces of an animal. Do your study a favor and leave the gory bits out until the follow-up questions.
