They are not uncommon in the hobby but often get sucked on to power heads and filters. Should this happen, it can have catastrophic effects on the tank (ammonia spike, etc).
Had to remove the picture due to the store link.
Here is another:

OMG you will not believe this...so as my wife and I are sitting and watching the fish my jellyfish started swimming around, we look away for a moment and look back and I asked where it went...we can't find it anywhere..all of the sudden there's pieces of it floating in the water....it got sucked into my skimmer, shredded and re-deposited into the tank....just great..now what are my nitrites gonna do?!?!

Sorry to hear that...very common end I am afraid. watch your tank parameters closely. Water changes may not be a bad idea!
