    Ok so this is not my video nut I have found the same exact thing in my DT. I was wondering if I should be concerened? Are they beneficial or detrimental to the tank?

    If they are bad how can I get rid of them, I've only seen one so far but I'm sure there's more

    Jelly fish go through a bud stage when they are attached to rock, substrate....

    They seem to make their way into tanks this way.

    It's pretty cool.

    Jellyfish, in the family of cnidaria (along with coral and anemones). However jellyfish go through two stages, Medusa stage (what you see) and the poylp stage. Depending on the species the polyps can release the medusa stage when stressed, after a period of time, day or night, or with the tides. HTH
