Hello everyone!

I seeded my tank with some rubble from my bosses FOWLR system and keep finding little surprises! This isn’t the first time I’ve seen them in the tank but its the first time I’ve seen more than one and that I’ve been able to kind of photograph them. They move with a jellyfish like propulsion and appear to have 4 nub like tentacles. The only thing I’ve seen that looked similar in any hitchhiker guides was some kinds of flatworms but I still haven’t seen any that look quite like this, they are aprox 1/8 of an inch

Thanks in advance!
 
My guess if flatworms too.

Def a jelly...most die off on thier own after the new tank stage...

Agree with it's probably just the medusa stage

Thanks guys! I’m relieved that they don’t appear to be flatworms (even when I searched jellyfish hitchhiker the medusa stages that popped up looked nothing like mine so I was a little worried).

I guess I’ll just enjoy them while they’re here!
