Snowflake on glass... ID Please (High Res Image)

[FBNitro]

Came home from work today and found 3 of these guys on my glass... (you'll have to follow the link to see it, middle of the shot)

I 'think' it's a feather duster of some sort... but I'm not sure.

Wow, I wasn't expecting it to be a jellyfish... cool! Thanks.

lol.. good lord man how did you see that in your tank...?

 

[FBNitro]

I have no idea... I saw one then started looking around closer and saw the others. One is on the same side, the other is at the far end. Took a few shots to focus on it through the camera, but the 3 inch screen helped out with that.

The tank is only 10 gallons, so I've got less tank to go through to find odd things. =)

I have a name for this guy now, in case anyone is interested:

Cladonema Jellyfish

There is also a Hydrozoan Jellyfish that looks similar. The ones that walk around are Hydrozoan's, the ones that swim are Cladonema. The guys in this picture are swimmers.

I've got about 8 of these guys now... they're growing in population.
