More upside down jellyfish

[HClH2OFish]

Ok, found out where my upside down jelly came from. A few months back I got a small piece of LR and set it in my curing tank. After that, have lots of arthopods and hydroids too.
Once I put that rock in my show tank, I've got *lots* of hydroids. I don't mind them so I've left them alone. Since discovering my baby jelly in my 10gal curing tank I've noticed some of the 'hydroids' in my show tank are actually baby jellies! They look just like the hydroids, except at a certain size their color changes from white to a kinda green (pry from zooxanthallae)
I setup my 10gal as a jelly tank (soft sand, slow flo) and that guy is doing great. My quandry is that the baby jellies in my show tank won't survive. Flow levels are too high and no good substrate, etc. etc. So..I'm going to be moving a chunk of LR that has them into my jelly tank....the problem is that it also has about a dozen shrooms on that rock!
Will they be ok under 10k standard lighting in a 10gal tank with a very low flow HOTF.
Anything I should know before I put em in? Oh, water quality is great, 0/0/0

those shrooms should be fine under that lighting..they arent big fans of light anyways..worst case is you can peel off those shrooms and reattach them using some superglue or fish safe epoxy to reattach them to another rock in your main tank

Can you take pics of them? It sounds like you have the polyp and medusa stage of Casseiopeia. They do well under really intense light, but strangely enough they kind of need poor water quality. I remember reading how one public aquarium couldn't get them to spawn until there was testable ammonia in the water.

We had some release planula larvae a while back...they settle on decaying mangrove leaves preferentially, but will also settle on glass or acrylic or live rock. The polyps then grow a while and become the mature medusa after a while.

Interesting about the lower water quality. I replaced my filter in my main tank and it had tons of pods and a few jellies in it! I just dumped it into the 10gal to see if they'd get off...nope. The pods are lovin life now.
And with the addition of those jellies, I now have 8 in that tank at least.
I'll def. be getting a better light for them. Think a 50/50 would work? I've only got a standart 18" NO single bulb fixture...
I got a digicam, but no #@KJL@$ cable...be a bit for pics guys...sorry

They're usually kept under MHs...you might want to think about a stronger source of light.
