Hey guys, anyone seen these guys before? I found two on the glass of my new setup, got some Bali LR rock in there...

Short little tentacles around the outer perimeter of the "disc" and the foot is segmented into 8(like an orange cut in half).

These are jelly like hydroids harmless and will disappear in time.

Thanks for the input! I'll leave them be then & keep an eye on them, see how they develop...

I think you should get rid of it but that's just my opinion. If it made it this far without dying its probably pretty damn hard to kill and if it does spawn or something in your tank it might end up with disastrous consequences.
