First time posting so I hope I’m doing this right. Tank is @ 5 months old 10 gallon nano. Haven’t put anything in it in @ a month except some zoas from my 29 biocube. Noticed this today and someone on FB said is was a Hydroid.
Is this a Hydroid?

They are @ 1 mm in size and swim like a jellyfish!

Good or bad? Info I find thru google is sketchy, if bad how do I get rid of them? Also when they are young, do they resemble aptiasia?

My Tank Thread
The young remind me of little starfish on the glass. And these always show up in new tanks and disappear on their own. No worries unless your growing pods or rearing fry.
Thanks, I was in panic mode! I have a maxima clam that has attached to one of the rocks these things are on and my wife loves it! Didn’t want to have to break down the tank after only 5 months, google can be the devil at times! Thought it was aptiasia, so I got a peppermint shrimp yesterday! Well we live and learn, never saw these things when I was in the hobby 25 years ago!
