Hello all! I was wondering if anyone could give me advice or help with my issue. Although, I am by far from new in this hobby there is always something to learn. Let me explain. I used to have a seahorse tank with some live rock, sand, fake decorations, along with a refugium. After the seahorses all died after a year or so, I purchased a porcupine puffer fish and made the old seahorse tank his home. Of course the little Mr. Puffer out grew his home. So, I had purchased a 125gallon tank even had a custom stand and canopy made. I wanted to go all out. Since, I wanted a fish only tank, I purchased beautiful reef inserts and have the following; Eshopps WD 300CS, Eshopps Protein skimmer, heater and a Lifegard UV light. I even put the live rock that was in the old seahorse/ puffer tank in the wet dry underneath the bio balls. This tank has been up now for over a year. About two months ago, I noticed I had hydroid jellyfish in my wet dry; they were by the bio balls area. I asked my LFS how did I get these jellyfish. He told me that they have never known anyone who had these types of jellyfish and it probably came from the rock and would eventually die off. Well……. one of my fish got ick and so did Mr. Puffer. I did ask my trusted LFS and he told me to use Cupramine for ick and is safe to use with MR. Puffer even though it has some copper in it. So, I treated my tank and of course it worked and all the fishes and MR. Puffer are doing well. I also checked where the hyroid jellyfish were and notice the medication must have killed them. This was fine by me 
. Well well well, guess who are back? Hyroid jellyfish !!!!! I just noticed today that their colonies are back and that means more jellyfish. How is this possible? I’ve been told and read this is rare. Although, I have read that Nudibranch due eat them, but this is not an option in my tank nor do I want them because they are very toxic & deadly when they die? Does anyone want them, lol ? I for sure thought the copper in the medication would have killed them, and they did for awhile. Now they are back. So, I ask you can anyone explain this? Note: the picture with the protein skimmer cone is the recent comeback of the colonies. They other pictures were taken previously when I first got them months ago.
