Hi! I found several upside down jellyfish hitchhikers free swimming in my tank. They are about 2-3mm in diameter each. At first I only saw 1 and removed it. But as the days passed I keep seeing more of them. No I see about 4 of them sometimes attaching to the glass and I am worried they will cause some problems for me. Is this jellyfish hitchhiker a problem and should I remove them? If so, how do I remove them? Please advise! Can't find much information on how to remove these jellyfish. laugh.gif

Could be hydroids... If you have fish, they'll end up probably as food. If they are free swimming, they probably end up in your filter medium and die biggrin2.gif

Thanks but even until now there are still some growing in the rocks and glass and even on the filter tube. Don't know what to do.
