    I have some sort of new life form in my tank. I recorded one, then it dissapeared for a few days. now there are three. please help me find out if I need to remove them. Though they look large in the pictures, the central mass is only about 1 mm long, and the tentacles streatch to a mad diameter of about an 1.5 inches. I'll try to post a video later.
