They probably are hydroid jellyfish, and they usually go away on their own. How long has the tank been running? I would just ignore them.

I haven't seen those since my tank was 3 weeks old. They seem to onlyh appear during the cycle?

I wish they had persisted, they were kinda cool.

Great picture, Paintbug.
I recently started getting exactly those on my glass. I've seen about two dozen of them at most, but it does seem like the numbers are starting to drop.

If it is in the jellyfish family, then how on earth did it get into my tank? I haven't introduced any new rock, corals, or fish recently.

not my pic

. i just borrow it from time to time. they usually come with the live rock like most things. i would assume that you have had them for awhile but they just stayed on the rock, or you didnt notice them.
