    i have 7 small things on my glass. ya thins cuz i have no idea wth they are! they have tentacles and seem to eat the copepods when they get close enough. my camera wont zoom in close enough to get it in focus. smaller than a grain of rice but they seem to grown fast. i remember seeing a jellyfish like sac in the aquarium after dumping in my order of hermit crabs...it was sucked into the intake before i could get it. anyone know what it could be altho i have no pic?

    plenty of hydroids are highly invasive and do insanely well in aquariums. Enough so to make them a nuisance/coral killer.
