All hydrozoa have a form like that, its part of their life cycle. They are sold in the aquarium hobby occasionally as 'fire corals'. They typically arent sold very often, the only two familys I can think of off the top of my head are milleporidae and stylasteridae
Baby jelly fish in my tank!!!

^^Those are hydroids technically, but they are more often referred to as hydrocorals, having the unusual capability to calcify. The most likely event is that the OP managed to get in a small colony on the live rock, which isn't uncommon. You just don't see them budding off medusae incredibly often. But yes, all hydrozoans have this cycle.
I know.. I am of the same mind.. There are several people that I learn from on this board and Amp is one of them.
im with mcsassy. ITS A JELLY FOOLS!!! lol. that stinks, but hey you never know.....it still could be a jelly. only time will tell. if it dies you must do an autopsy! only then will we know the truth lol
hey I would try and keep it in like a small container or sumthin. like use a small cylindrical glass container like a jar. fill it with water and add like an airline tubing to it and c what happens. Or try making your own in-tank container by using one of those fine meshes and some plastic parts to make it a cylindrical shape. I think that this will allow water movement throught the container. but I dunno im still a noob when it comes to saltwater reef keeping so. Im just saying ideas
Home Jelly Tank
I just came across this Jelly tank designed for the home:

I may try to stop by the store next week. If I can get a price and some more info, I'll post back. I think I'll stick to something more traditional though!
