New Copepods in tank, but what are?

[wrimda]

Hello,
I was looking at our tank this morning and saw a bunch of white specks moving around in the water, and on the glass. At first I thought we had
a bad Crypt ( ich) problem.
So I came to the forum, did a search and found them to be Copepods
( I think by looking at pics )

Kind of strange how just one night and we have an outbreak.

So I have an ID on most of these things, but there are a few other little
critters.
Looking through a 16X glass I can best discribe them as landmines ( round
bodys with 6 to 8 arms with balls on them) Can anyone tell me what these other things are? Or point me to some pics to ID?

Thank you! Hope it's not bad news

hydroid jellyfish, the small kind, they are extremely common in reeftanks and too numerous to eliminate, they fade in time i believe, i dont see many anymore.

TimH07, Thank you!

This is exactly what we have.

I see one every once in a while, but really do not pay it much concern.
