I think that it is a type of hydroid. But I am not sure.

Staurocladia oahuensis (Hydromedusae)
Its a walking jellyfish. In the little research that ive done for the past couple of days are indicating that the recent moon activity has spurred them up for mating or somthing. theres been a couple threads pop up on here since the eclipse last week about these little guys.

cool looking lil critters, specially when there on your glass and you can get a good look at them.

Yeah I've had them pop up like CRAZY in my 10g Frag tank. I hope someone or something in there is eating them and they aren't going to go into "Epidemic" mode!!
