    Looks like a jelly fish or a hydroid jelly to me.

    Well I have seen them around the tank. I assumed it was just some kind of filter feeder but after I saw one actually swimming and not anchored to the rock I had to find out. Wish I could upload the video for y'all it was pretty interesting

    VERY interesting.

    I am thinking schackmel was trying to ask if you added anything new to the tank that could have brought those little guys in.

    Jellyfish are fascinating IMO. There reproductive means is complicated and it does not seem like they would make it long enough that you would see them.

    If it swam like a jelly, it's a jelly. Nothing else really moves like that. Sometimes they grow for awhile on "stalks" and then all of a sudden the medusas are released. The intro could have happened 2 months ago.

    I'm with these two. Would love to see a video of the tank... maybe we could ID more that haven't released yet.
    Jelly's are COOL!
