    So I saw these things in my tank and did some research and found out that they are clandonema jellyfish and that they can sting the heck out of your corals. Today i tryed to syphon some out. I got a lot in the dt, but they are still all over my sump.:-/ Any ideas on how to eradicate these things would be much appreciated.

    I think you are doing the right thing. Try feeding as lightly as possible to starve them out.

    Is that your picture? Are you sure they aren't hydroids?

    Yeah they look like Hydroid jellies to me too. I had them really bad in my tank and I lightened up on feeding and they went away

    They are hydroid jellyfish. The jellies come off of the hydroids. There are a few different kinds (I've had 2). They'll eventually starve out. New tank, right?
