I've only seen this thing twice but it looks REALLY cool!!!!!
It doesn't really have a shape to it...sort of. It looks like a bunch of dots! It's only about 1/16th of an inch. It looks like about five or six white dots that form a ring, then a little bit higher than the rest but in the middle is another dot. Thats all it is and it moves like a squid or fast jellyfish!
Im really interested in finding out what it is but I havn't gotten anything from the web. If you know what it is, please tell me!
I just can't figure it out!

Could it be fish flea? Sounds a little bit similar. I hope for your fish that it's not.

Newtankdude

Well, if it is, theres only one, and it was sucked up into the filter. Thanks for the info!

Miss Mouse

Some sort of copepod maybe?

Newtankdude

IDK, I havn't seen it in forever now...I think the filter got it.

i onno if its a fish flea it could have easily repopulated

Newtankdude

I've only seen one and its gone now, and if it is a fish flea, they havn't gotten my fish cause I allways closly look at them every week.

lolagurl

you look at them once a week?

Newtankdude

I look at them all the time, but I only take a REALY close look for ich and other stuff like, once or twice a week.

are they on the inside of your glass?
from the description you gave.. could be a hydroid jellyfish...
they come out in new tanks.. dissapear overtime.. harmless.
