Thanks Meowzer. Once they are less stressed, I will take plenty of pics for everyone. Right now when I walk up to the tank, they hide. I hope to introduce the tang and angel very soon too. :)

Thanks Gemmy. Now, maybe someone can ID something that I can only describe, cause they are too little for pic. I found them today in the 10g nano after work. Must of come from the water that the anthias were in. They are the exact size of monti cap polyps and are tan/brown, they have mult. legs/tentacles and make a pumping motion like a jelly fish in the water column.....totally stumped here. Anyone have any ideas so i can google pics?

Maybe. The pics I am seeing do not match. Mine look thicker, like some saltwater spiders. Although they may be some form of hydroid....

Nope, not them. they literally look like thick sea stars or spiders, but pump thru the water like a jellyfish????? If they are a form of hydroid, what should I do to get rid of them? I am glad they are only in the ten...

Have a look in Cranberry's hitch hiker spread, I think the picture in there is better, they are a form of jellyfish.

Well, I found her info on the website lionfishlair, but didnt see what I have. I will try to get pics tomorrow or the next day. They are very small and constantly move, so it will be hard. I also emailed the place i bought the anthias from to see if they have anything in their tanks that would id these. Thanks everyone.

Hydroid jellyfish is what it sounds like. Does it look like this? If so they tend to wax and wane in our systems.

Hey Henry! They do not look like that. They are more solid. They really look identical to jellyfish. the center disc is solid and legs all around?? And there are several of them. I am hopeful that the place I bought the fish from can id them. Thanks for posting!

Flower, from what i have read, they are not good. they can sting corals. I am glad that they are only in the 10g nano and not my 180. :) This just proves again how important QT is!

Pics of the anthias in their new home. I also added the flame angel today. He is acting quite shy for now, and hiding in the rocks.

Thanks Meowzer. They seem to like their new home. They are very active, and are eating mysis like little pigs LOL. The little flame angel I put in today seems to be doing good as well, although he tends to hide when I walk up to the tank. The yellow tang will go in next. prob in a day or two. :)
