Baby jelly fish in my tank!!!

[mcsassy]

I woke up this morning and there is a tiny jelly fish swimming in my tank...what do they eat? What care do they require? I don't know where it came from but I don't want it to die!!! It is white and about a centimeter in diameter.

I dunno what they eat, but thats cool.

I put some phyto feast into the tank...it swam into it...hopefully that works for now. I should ask spongebob.

wow, that is awesome!! I heard that it's pretty tough to keep them in tanks because of the delicateness of their structure and the corners of the tank. Best of luck to you, again, that is awesome!

Almost looks like a clear flatworm until it propels itself upward. Also looks like the fish are debating if it is dinner.

I just looked at flatworms and it looks nothing like it...it has a circular top like a jelly and the column in the middle and looks and swims just like a jelly...a few of the fish have tried to taste it but have immediately backed off at sudden touch of it...maybe it is stinging them.

thats not a jelly its a type of nem i think. i have them all over my tank and every once and a while one will break loose from the rock and do the exact same thing. it will probably get eaten or lost in your overforw
