# Preparation steps:

01 - In a saucepan over low heat, warm fruit juice and sugar until the sugar dissolves. Sprinkle gelatin over the mixture, stirring continuously until fully dissolved. Add food coloring and lemon juice, then pour into jellyfish-shaped silicone molds or substitute molds for body and tentacles. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes until set.
02 - Heat coconut water and sugar in a separate saucepan until warm. Stir in gelatin and desired food coloring. Pour into shallow molds or a baking dish. Chill for 30 minutes, then cut into seaweed or wave shapes.
03 - Arrange the set jellyfish gummies on a large serving tray as the centerpiece. Attach gummy worms and candy belt strips as tentacles beneath each jellyfish body. Scatter decorative jellies, rock candy, and candy pearls around to emulate underwater scenery.
04 - Keep chilled until serving to maintain optimal texture and presentation.
