Keeping finding these guys on the glass. Scrape off very easily.

Am I worried about these guys?

Ugggggh. I haven't seen them on the rocks yet. Is there some early intervention to be done?

Yup just like the pictures... dang must be early. Some peppermint shrimp or a file fish?

I had three peppermint shrimps that all killed one another in a fantastic way a few months back. And I had a filefish that got sucked into the overflow and died.

Very interesting. I guess its some other form of hydroid not necessarily the big bad Aiptasia.
