Everything in my tank came from three places... basically. 2 different LFS’s and the ocean. (Half of my live rock was in the ocean less than 48 hours before it was in my tank...) ish.

I keep finding critters... some good... most recently ...maybe bad? Possible hydroids? Nothing in my tank was dipped or quarantined by me. I didn’t know enough... my fault.

The pic I posted earlier is below... I was told to “google hydroids”. I did... now I’m stressed!

When I saw this thing, it was laying on the sand... in an odd place. Before I could get my camera set up, a hermit crab crawled over it... and then got off of it just as fast. When that happened, I saw 3 of those sphere float away... I took 1 pic and got it out of my tank.

Do I have a problem?

Pull it and cover with gel glue or snip off with scissy. They feed off suspended matter. Starve them and they will eventually vanish
