I just found a tiny little jelly in my gf tank. How should I take care of it? It looks awesome.

At that size he probably feeds on phytoplankton. I would collect him in a jar and move him to a smaller tank and keep him in plenty of phyto. Match your params exactly if he appears happy.

Right on, I'll see if I can find him again.

Not sure if its the same species, but look for polyps such as shown below within cryptic areas of your tank. It most likely eats very small zooplankton (baby pods and such) and particulate matter as I am not aware of any jellys that sting, trap and eat phytoplankton.

Yeah I was looking around the internet and saw that, then looked in the tank and saw some of those little polyp looking things. Maybe we have more of them. Thanks!
