Nice images. What are those round things in the last image, looks like a little loop with a tail...

Nematocysts, the poison injecting structures typical of polyps and jellyfishes, and they are very well imaged!

Waldo.. those are discharged nematocysts

Litonitus... Congratulations on your new set-up, and your hydra "discovery".

You're going to really enjoy it, and I am sure we will all be treated to many great shots!
