Hi guys, woke up this morning and saw this on the glass. My tank is new and the only possible source is the cleanup crew. Hoping this isnt a huge nuissance!

Looks very much like a hydroid in the medusa stage.

Typically these will go away as tank ages and is part of a new tanks road to be a mature tank.


Just to be sure google "Hydroid Medusa Stage" and compare pics, as I am on my phone with a broken screen lol.
