Aptasia? Jelly?

Hard to see but looks like a paly.

Looks like ephyra stage jelly. Hydroids would be much more common to find in a reef tank.
How did you find it?

Looks like jellyfish to me too, cool

Was swimming at the top in my return chamber. Up to five now been taking them out.

they were swimming in my return chamber. I am up to five collected and moved out. I haven’t added anything new in weeks. So no idea where they came from. I do have some aptasia in my chambers

Aiptasia doesn't "swim" except during planula stage when they are trying to get away from Aiptasia X or Joe's Juice, ha ha. May want to research hydroids 'cause jellies would be rare to find, then again you might be lucky. They will eat enriched nauplii brine shrimp, need a kreisel shaped tank and good quality water if you want to try to keep them.

Good luck, fascinating animals.

Kind of look like these upside down jellyfish in the picture.

What is This Baby Jellyfish in my Reef Tank and Where did it Come From?

It happens more than you would think. You’re gazing into your saltwater aquarium and all of a sudden you observe something darting around- it looks like a jellyfish. But what is it really and…

Hydroids usually have the individual tentacle look while these appear to have a complete "bell" top from the video?

Although in this post they are calling it a hydroid

ID please - jellyfish type hitchhiker

Anyone know what this is? This popped up today in my small, observation tank. No new corals in 6+ months, 1 new fish added about 1 month ago. Any information would be helpful, thank-you!

I volunteered in jelly lab at Georgia Aquarium and they sure look like jellies with that swimming motion, but I think there are so many species of hydroids (about 3500 if I remember) that you'll want to continue with researching them. Personally, I don't think I've ever seen hydroids at the swimming stage so don't have a good comparison.

Worth a try to keep them alive and most species grow pretty fast, especially at this stage.

It's jellyfish. I had encounter with them years ago.

They definitely do

 

[Swooshjvm]

So throw them back in return chamber? Pretty sure my powerheads would kill them

I have had them in my DT for a few months now. Only ever see one or two at a time either in the sump or DT. Don't seem to grow any bigger. I had brown stuff covering one of my rocks which on another site people identified as a hydroid precursor which would spread over my whole tank if I did nothing about it. I purchased a blow torch and sorted the problem. Still got the odd jelly fish thingy though.
