see i know that in planted tanks....hydra are a "bad" thing they are small and the look alot like that basically they show up where there are excess amounts of live foods....i.e the brine shrimp i had been feeding my fish, pain in the ass to kill or get rid of had to take them off of the glass with a razor and give the plants they were growing on a "bleach" bath
and also there is another called protozoians or something like that that tend to show up in these conditions too. but biggest issue with the hydra is that they sting the fish that swim by... and can kill fry but usually wont harm bigger fish
