Hydroids?

 

[Up2no6ood]

Never seen a hydroid that big. Plus the hydroids ive seen swim like jellys. These things move with the 100 or so tentacles.

Plus they are aware of each other, if I separate them they find their way back together.

ugh I hope not they are about the size of a bb right now. But whatever they are revive kills them in under a minute. Im guessing they hitchicked on some cheato I aquired about a month ago.
