ID Help : Medusa Stage of Anemone?

[Vitaly]

At least two of these were spotted in the display tank the other night.

I would assume that it is a medusa stage of an anemone (there is a Carpet Anemone in the display).

Anyone seen anything like this in their tank?

more likely a medusa stage of a hydroid

i would have to agree

Well, after looking through the sanskrit writing on those links, I can't tell you anything about what you have, but odds are, the other two posters are probably correct.

Anemone...I think you need to have Quicktime installed on your computer to view them; not sure why as they are not ".mov" files, but that seems to be the trend. Also, that Golden in your avatar looks amazing.

Rod and LiveRound69 thanks for the feedback. Did not know that Hydroids went through the stage, but it certainly makes sense.

By the way Rod, the baby clown that you mailed Andrea several months ago has grown tremendously and is doing great. Thanks again for your help!
