We never found a solid ID...most likely Hydroids in the medusoid stage from what most suggested....

Dont take this the wrong way, but saying "other type of cnidarian" doesn't really help much since all corals/anemones/jellies are cnidarians.

On the topic of the unknown critter, I agree with the above posts that it is a medusoid form of some type of Hydrozoan.

Yep, all corals/anemones/hydrozoans/sea jellies are in the phylum Cnidaria.
