BCreefmaker · 01/07/2007, 02:46 AM

i was taking a look at my fuge today and i noticed that there were a bunch of tiny jellyfish 1-3mm swimming around and picking at the surface film or the pods. are good or bad? i'm not shure what to do with them. or should i wait and see if they get bigger? my fuge is a 20G /w a 20W pc bulb, a 25watt heater, and a ehim pump. ran a a 24/7 light cycle. any suggestions would help

Could be hydroid or jelly medusa, in any case they are probably harmless and will most likely eventually subside. I wouldn't worry about them, just one of those little critter blooms we sometimes get.

i thought it wa a jelly because of the jerking motion it made while swimming. i also noticed that they do latch onto the side of my tank. so i beleive they are probbably the same ones on melev's reef.
