I have some corals coming later this week.Over the weekend,I've noticed a bad outbreak of hydroid medusa.Will this be a problem for these corals? The order is mostly softies. Tank was set up in early September,so it's part of a new tank thing.Just wondering if there is any fish or whatever that could help eradicate these little buggers.

I believe these will go away on their own with time. Pretty common to see them pop up in new tanks eventually but like nuisance algae it's just part of the biome development with biodiversity.

Sea hare, peppermint shrimp and emerald crab all may munch on them too.
