dumb question but maybe baby jellyfish????

[bprewit]

Ok so what would a tiny baby jellyfish look like? I notice these little things cruising all over my fuge (yes I spend way too much time looking in there lately) and I am going nuts trying to find out what they are. They are very very very tiny but are clear except for a ring of white dots on the bottom, a small white dot on the top and basically are just see through except for the white spots. They move by propulsion, opening and closing their body and jetting around and are dome shaped, like a upside down glass. Wonder what they could be by chance? I caught a couple of them today and put them in a clear glass of tank water to watch them, the sucked up some other tiny critters in my fuge that look like ity bity tadpoles and added to the glass. The little jellyfish looking critters would actually suck the tadpole looking critters up inside their body eating them I suppose! Only saw one do this and had to flood the small glass with stuff to watch it happen. Anyways it was pretty cool. Sometimes the little tiny stuff is almost entertaining as the large stuff in the main tank!

some type of Cnidaria in the medusa stage...some type of anemone?aiptasia-don't know if they do this tho??? have any pics???sounds cool though

wonder if they are hydriod jellies?

There are a lot of inverts that go through a larval medusa stage. I can't recall what they are right off the top of my head. Its been a long time since I took embryology.

I did some reading and I know they cant be actual jellyfish as they live in cooler waters than what my tank or corals came from. I would love to take a picture but they are so small its kinda impossible with my old digital camera. They will probably end up being something bad but pretty cool anyways.

I had a bunch of similar "things" in my fuge a few months ago - they lasted about a week and were gone - haven't seen any since.

Hydroids are the best bet
