I have what I am almost positive is a cladonema Jelly (a hydroid) on my glass. I cant really find any info on it in the context of a saltwater tank. Im sure it stings Ive watched many a copepod get zapped and one even get devoured) but its tiny and what info I could find indicates it will never be bigger than 8 mm even with its tentacles outstretched. The truth is its really cute. Soo....should I keep it or get rid of it
. I don't have any fish yet so I've got time to hear your opinions.
I couldn't figure out how to crop the image I took of it but heres a picture of the exact same thing http://jellieszone.com/images/cladonema.jpg

I'd leave them alone .... Unless they get to epidemic proportions they're no problem and usually dissapear on their own.

Thanks for the info! I asked the lfs and they acted like they had never heard of a jellyfish hitchhiking in so that was big dead end. Glad somebody knows about them
