I have them too, hydroid jellyfish. They shouldn't get any larger then when you first notice them (if the same as mine). I have had them for 2-3 weeks and they are finally starting to reduce in numbers. From what I have read they normally come in a phase and don't last that long.

Could be a hydrozoan or cladonema type jellyfish.
Do they look like this? http://www.melevsreef.com/id/jelly.html
