mrshall1027 Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I noticed these guys all over my glass today. I think they came with the algae I order from ReefCleaners, so I'm hoping they aren't bad. Anyone know what these guys are and if I need to get rid of them? If so, how would I go about it? This is a pic I pulled from google images. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wesreyn Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 I think they are bad but I get them almost every time I start up a new tank and they kinda just run their course and are gone in a couple of weeks. That is my experience with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jestep Posted November 30, 2012 Share Posted November 30, 2012 They shouldn't make it to the medusa stage, and will likely clear up on their own, but you can suck them out when doing water changes. I do believe that they can sting still, so I wouldn't be grabbing them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrshall1027 Posted November 30, 2012 Author Share Posted November 30, 2012 Thanks for the info. Goes along with what I read on some other forums. They are too small the physically grab, but hopefully I can siphon them out. They are all over my glass and seems like they multiplied rather quickly over the last two days.

George Monnat Jr Posted December 4, 2012 Share Posted December 4, 2012 What's weird is I just noticed them on my front glass. I saw some in my 20g over a year ago when it was immature, but I haven't seen any in my 125g that's now 11 months old. I added the Frogspawn from RCA and the mushrooms from AquaSD, so I guess they could've come in on those. I think I'll fire the UV sterilizer back up and see if that ends them. By the way, that's a great picture. Did you take it? If so, can I use it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
