Hydra. It will sting and eat baby shrimp. If there are enough in a cluster they can take down adults too.
Hydra sp.
It’s related to jellyfish and sea anemones.
It has a mild sting that could hurt adult shrimp and kill baby shrimp.
If you don’t want that, remove them carefully.
Small bits that break off can grow into new hydras, like a plant almost.
Get some spixii snails. They will eat those like spaghetti. They’ve cleaned my tank in a week. Avoid Chemical treatments if you have natural ones.
Hail Hydra. It won’t harm adult shrimp
Hail Hydra!!!
Pancur C is what I used to treat my tank and murder all the hydras. It’s shrimp safe if dosed right and I didn’t lose a single shrimpo.
Oh, and since it’s dog medication a little goes a long way and it’s cheap af compared to the fish stuff
