New to reef2reef & please help with ID!

[LiamTraynor]

Howya everybody,

Brand new to reef2reef, been reefing a while though, not to savvy on all the little critters in the tank.

Current setup is Red Sea reefer 350.
ALK: 10.6
CA: 400
MG:1349
PH: 8.25
Salt: 1.024

Could I get an ID on this little guy? They’ve covered the glass out of no where. I recently started adding phytoplankton Daily, are these filter feeders blooming due to the plankton?
Thanks in advance, Liam

Medusa stage hydroids. Like little jellyfish. They’re common in new setups and go away. Don’t worry.

I started with about 80lbs or so of Carib sea life dry rock. Although, it was placed in bins with a power head & heater for about 6 months prior to tank introduction.

I used the same rocks and got the same hydroids on my glass to, it went away in about a month for me
