What are these jelly fish looking things??

fishykid9212 · 12/23/2006, 03:13 PM

I have these very tiny things going around in my tank, they look like tiny jelly fish. In the tank I have a hammer coral, zoos and GSP. Does anyone know what I am talking about

Need to see a picture.

fishykid9212 · 12/23/2006, 07:03 PM

I'll try to get a picture but these things are so tiny, I don't think it's going to work

Do the kind of undulate and blow around in the current? Almost like the shape of an hourglass folding down over the bottom half? If yes , then I have no Idea what it could be........
But I have seen something just like that in one of the holding tanks @ my old job which housed an octopus if that's any kind of clue. Someone out there must know what I'm talking about.

i would guess at hydroid jellyfish as well.

saltycreefer · 12/23/2006, 07:19 PM

The ones I'm thinking of don't look anything like the ones on Melev's page.

saltycreefer · 12/23/2006, 07:37 PM

Where did you go fishy?

fishykid9212 · 12/23/2006, 08:14 PM

I'm still here, I'm going to go try to get some pics, I'll let you know in a few

fishykid9212 · 12/23/2006, 08:35 PM

there is absolutely no way that I would able to get a picture. I just tried and they are way to small to see with the camera, my only guess is thats it's some type of coral larvae

fishykid9212 · 12/23/2006, 08:48 PM

I believe it's the picture on the right Black and white pic)

take a look here http://www.wetwebmedia.com/jellyidfaqs.htm . hydroid jellyfish are a very common hitchhiker. nothing to worry about. they will go away on their own shortly.

saltycreefer · 12/23/2006, 09:59 PM

Still nothing that looks like what I saw but probably related.

GinaSofia · 12/23/2006, 10:05 PM

Look like this(it's upside down and blown up 10X)??

fishykid9212 · 12/24/2006, 12:47 PM

Nope, it's totaly clear, it looks like a jelly fish, but it sort of bounces around in the water

I had those early on during my LR Tank cycling. Hydroid medusa of some species, though not quite like pics..
My only guess from the description given..
