Jelly fish like hitchhiker

[Susan Edwards]

Saw this strange thing in tank today. Must have come off new corals. It looks like a miniscule jelly fish the way it pulses as it goes through the water. Tried to catch it but it goes right thru my net. any ideas. It's white and very tiny. good? Bad?

Probably an upside down jelly. Not terrible but not really good

Hydroids mini jellies.

+1 for hydroid jellyfish. They don't really bother much or do anything. Some people say peppermint shrimp might eat them

I have to laugh as I was trying to catch it to get a better shot. It kept going right thru my net so I was trying a seed sprouting jar lid. Anyway, it got shot down right in front of my mandarin and I saw her snap at it. I'm guessing it is toast. Nice to know what it was though. I didn't figure it'd last long--either sucked into skimmer or eaten. Surprised one of the chromis didn't nab it.
