Critter ID please

[zcatzmeow]

So......these little guys turned up overnight. Basically they look like miniature jellyfish and the closest ID I could come up with was a hydroid jellyfish; however mine do not crawl along the glass, they have the classic jellyfish swimming style. They like light and are up at the top of the water.

Sorry for the pic quality, my camera and I have difficulty understanding each other :bigsmile:

hmm, i want to say theyre flatworms, only because ive had something similar to that a few months back. everyone told me not to treat with flatworm exit and they they would go away on their own--- they were right; theyre not in my tank anymore.

the only reason im not certain is because i never saw them swim.. they were always attached to something like my the stalk of the zoanthids, on chaeto, or just hang out on glass

I've seen them in my Refugium from time to time. They are Not Flatworms for sure. I've never been able to find out what they are. I did some research a while back for 2 hours with nothing found. All I can say that they are jellyfish like. They haven't done anything bad in my tank so no worries from me... oh well

Isn't that the strangest thing? I've Google'd my brains out and just can't come up with a match. I wish I could figure out what they are, they are in a separate pod tank and I just don't know if they would be something beneficial to add to the main tank or something detrimental :confused:

Thanks for trying to research!
