IMG_9801.jpeg Hi guys,
Tanks been running for 2 months+, fluval evo 13,
Noticing an outbreaks of free floating larvae like creatures in the display tank tonight and could not figure what it might come from… (swims like a jellyfish, pls see video attached)
Anyone had these happened before? Potential pests or free food? will eventually gets filter out by filter floss anyway but curious to see if anyone could recognise them

All corals been dipped and quarantined before adding to display tank
