Can you get a pic from the side? Like with it sticking out from the glass? Look like it could be Hydra. Or are they swimming?

This is the best pic I could get it’s from the back looking forward phone wouldn’t really focus for me and no they don’t seem to be free swimming they are just on the glass and the sponge I have another sponge on the opposite side with none

Yes maybe 6 tentacles I counted them there is 18 of them in that one area no where else visible in the tank

Sounds like hydra to me. Look for some pics on google to see if thats what you think they are, since its hard to get a picture. you do not want them in your tank. You will have to medicate the tank to be rid of them.

I had some hijack their way into my tank with plants. It was a sorority betta tank, so they were quickly eaten! some fish do eat them.

I did the razor scrape while vacuuming on my wc and added some guppies I’ve been told they will eat them also I removed most of them I still see a few but not many
