funny jelly fish

Hello world.... i've had my tank up and running for 9 months now.. doing pretty good. made a lot of mistakes at the beginning.. but now its going great. i have one question.

i started to feed my enenimy (hope you spell it that way) freeze dried cubes. and suddenly 1 week later i got these funny looking jelly fish type things floating around. they are really small. maybe 1-2 mm and they swim like jelly fish. but i only see them after the light has been off all night and then i turn it on in the morn. they hide after a while..

any thoughts??

 

WOW - sorry I can't help you there but I'm curious myself!!!!

 

Oh, it's spelled anemone

 

just secretions from your anemone, what are you feeding it exactly it may not like it for some reason

 

I should have stated not to feed the anemone anything freeze dried - doesn't sound right to me either - try small pieces of silverside

 

arggg....I just read an article somewhere about somebody actually having jellyfish things in their tank...but they were attached to the side of the glass...WHERE DID I SEE THAT.....it was a new tank and was a rock hitchhickers...nothing to do with your anemone...now this is going to bug me until I find it....maybe in Coral...let me look when I get a chance. Do you have a picture of them? Try to post it

 

Feed mine regular ol' salad shrimp...once or twice a week...as well as some of the zoo plankton he may pick up when filter feeding...He is a monster right now....secretes "stuff" weekly...I do it every morning while reading the paper. : ) TMI? LOL

The name hydroid is coming to mind but I can't think of why...

 

found article...in Oct/Nov 2008 Coral......Clodeonema medusa
The guy had them start in his live rock. Neat article...I will try to summarize it later when I am not supposed to be working...work really interferes with my 3Reef experience

 

I fed my bta 1/2 a silverside about once a week...
