Seen this in my tank, anyone know what it may be. Almost missed it, till I turned off the filters. It's about the same size as a tiny bubble.

Hydroids. Bad, get rid of if possible.
 
Thanks, I will... The next time I see it.
 
If they are swimming in the water column could be a tiny jellyfish.
 
They usually go away with time, I had some pop up in my tank one time and they were gone the next day :)
 
Yeah, this was about 2 days ago... I haven't seen it again. I only saw it after I notice it's strange movements amongst the small bubbles... So I turned off the filters to take a better look... And it bobbed up and down... Very jellyfish style. That would have been cool if it was. I'll see if I can upload the strange vid I took of it.
 
I had them in my current build. It's less then 3 months old. Whenever I would turn the pumps off, the couple that were attached to the glass would release and hand at the top looking like mini Jellyfish.

They basically disappeared after a few weeks. Check out wetwebmedia's section on medusa hydroids.
