ID please. Possible jellyfish?

[Slevin007]

Was doing a deep clean today and noticed these pulsating in my tank. For reference it and IM fusion 40. This was in the rear chamber. Im stumped.


Give the video a look and please let me n ow what you think. That giant clump of algae is now gone. I was trying to create a little algae scrubber area in the rear chamber. Didn't work the way I wanted.

Nice. So they are harmless. I was a little worried. Where do they come from.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

You brought it in on something. It's the medusa stage of a hydroid.

 

[Slevin007]

Do I need to get rid of them or are they really harmless.

 

[Lionfish Lair]

Sabella is right, they are harmless unless you're raising fry or find them in your pod cultures.

 

[Slevin007]

Sounds good. I appreciate all the help

I'm curious how long they will survive in the back chamber. Sabella how long have you been able to keep them alive.
