They could be experiencing anything. We cant know they might have a simulation playing in their bubble. They could be secretly controlling other planets from inside our ocean.

Jellyfish is imaginary. 

If we assume it's real, then it has a very primitive version of reality. It can't experience even the basic experiences which humans do every moment and take for granted. It has a serious lack of chemistry. It's chemistry is very, very primitive as compared to us humans.

@Candle how could you possibly make that claim as certain? You don't know what primitive chemistry looks like from first person perspective. How do you know complex chemistry dosent limit your perspective instead of expand it?

If humans are the highest on the food chain that means they see less of reality than any other animal.

Very good question. First we should define what is experience, then how are the different types of experience. 

Is experience without perception? Is time without perception? Is time with basic perception? When perception starts to be complex and is aware of itself? Why it's aware of itself? Who is aware of itself is a creation of the perception, or something else?
