If you look realllly close you will see the " Comb's " (like a hair comb, hence the name) in all of them. Every once in awhile they pop-up in a reef tank. I have ID them an number of times on other forums an NG. They can be a problem if the population density gets to high and interfere with corals. These typies of Comb Jellies are know as Platyctenean, coeloplanidids are often found on the surfaces of specific plants or animals. Many are Lyrocteis flavopallidus or simialr species.
