They are all clumped together and look like the weeds that you find in your lawn and blow the seeds for good luck. About the same size too.

Hydroid Jellyfish.
There's also a great Hitchhiker thread ---> Hitchhiker ID thread

 

[stachy]

not convinced that there Hydroid jelly's. I did some searching on google and could not find anything like these under Hydroid jellyfish.
Maybe some other advise?
Here is another close up.
I've taken them out to be safe either way.

That's the best I can do with the picture.

The hydroids in the hitchhiker thread don't really look like these, I believe they are another type, but they are indeed hydroids...
Here's a clearer pic (I hope), if they look like these then they are definately hydroids... Good that you removed them... now come get mine out!! LOL.

How big can we make these suckers??

 

[stachy]

Thats them, thanks for the ID.

It's wierd, cause when I do a search on them those are the ONLY ones I find. The ones in this sights hitchhiker thread , I don't think I've been able to find anywhere else. :notsure:
Strange how you get one and I get the other.
I got a lot of pics looking for "colonial hydroids" too...

darrrrn. I have these almost covering one of my rocks (I think they are actually disapearing). And its at the bottom of my tank.
And all this time I was thinking, well, o well, maybe the wrasse will eat them with alllll the other baddies in the tank

.
How can you remove them? They are so fine and all attached to the rock. Are they something I should worry about, everything seems to be doing great so far.

I had quite bit of them underneath my rock work and I bought a few emerald crabs and now they are gone. I am assuming they ate them. Hope that helps.
