This stuff is growing in my chaeto chamber. Seems to have the consistency of jello when out of water. Never seen this before, any idea what it is?

So im guessing they are hyrdoids. I have some in my display also, but is there any quick way to get rid of them?
 
I can't tell from the pics. if they are hydroids or tunicates. Most likely hydroids. Most hydroids will go away on their own once the tank settles but from the looks of the corraline, you've been running for awhile. Chaeto chambers provide the perfect microenviroment for stuff like this. I'd just brush off what you can with a toothbrush and give that lid a quick freshwater rinse.

Thanks, I will do that and maybe stop feeding small particle food
