[Doctorgori]

These things (along with somekinda pod) took over one of my brine shrimp tanks ... they look act and swim like a jellyfish only very tiny .... Does anyone have any concrete ID ?

Staurocladia

I looked it up: Hydrozoans .... is that technically a jellyfish ? They sure swim like one...unfortunately my iPhone optics does’t allow for a closeup

Kinda hard to tell exact species. If hydroid, they rarely move. There are some exceptions, specifically the bell Jellies. But this doesn't look like one of those. No clue specifically. But probably some form of hydroid.

Hard to tell. Nausithoe sp?

They definitely move/swim ... not much tho ...also under the scope it looks like they have eyes at each arm ... not sure however. ....does the vid work for anyone?

I found some of these swimming around my RFA pico tank. Any update on your findings?

yeah I’m pretty sure they were hydroids, I looked at them under magnification, more jellyfish looking than anything and likely feeding on my my brine shrimp
