    Was really happy a few weeks ago when I noticed some copopods. Now today I see that I have what appears to be hydroids as well. And alot of them. How do I get rid of these?

    In the one thread it says they are harmless, On another it says to remove them.

    In that case, they're relatively harmless and should go away eventually. They're baby jellyfish and the food in our tanks can't sustain them for very long.
