    OK so I moved some live rock and cheto algae to a 10 gallon with just an are line to make a pod breeding tank. But now a week after adding pods from ipsf and Dr foster and Smith live aquatics. I have found 5 or 6 small jellyfish looking things they are about as big as a drop of water. They swim just like jellyfish. Not sure what they are. I don't mind having them but must know. Will they hurt my pods fish or corals?

    OK I did some research. Let me make sure I am clear on it. They are filter feeders and won't hurt anything?
    And should go away in a few months?

    They'll go away, yes. They've never harmed anything in my tank. I get them constantly. probably a result of overfeeding.
