Hydroids are a
life stage for most animals of the class
Hydrozoa, small predators related to
jellyfish. Taken from wikipedia.
Yeah, I've read that a few years back, but I'm still unsure if they are related together or not, (I mean from a spawning point of view) my assumption is they are simply because I still have those jellyfish (
Vallentinia adherens ?? )... but it's an easy correlation to make.
In the past, I tried my best to find the source but I couldn't see them, I've been haunted since then. They can hide inside the rock making it impossible to eradicate from me.
Even slug could have issues eliminating them.
For now, I use my tweezer, try to grab them from the root but... I bet they can regrow (?). I thought of using some kalkwasser paste stuff but sometimes it's unpractical.
I know their's a med, fendanocole? Something like that, can't remember but it also kills other things that I don't want to be affected.
A documentation I saw online that was interesting, probably not the right species but show a little bit what could be their behavior development:
The hydroids, apparently a nonmonophyletic group
No wonder why we have so much trouble with taxonomy lol
They are tricky to deal with argg, I don't like them. I prefer aiptasia (or maybe not
)
For now, I still search during the night, sometimes I flip the rock but it's delicate since I have many corals.
