More upside down jellies

Hmm...accidentally posted to the wrong forum...think this is where I wanted it...

Ok, found out where my upside down jelly came from. A few months back I got a small piece of LR and set it in my curing tank. After that, have lots of arthopods and hydroids too.
Once I put that rock in my show tank, I've got *lots* of hydroids. I don't mind them so I've left them alone. Since discovering my baby jelly in my 10gal curing tank I've noticed some of the 'hydroids' in my show tank are actually baby jellies! They look just like the hydroids, except at a certain size their color changes from white to a kinda green (pry from zooxanthallae)
I setup my 10gal as a jelly tank (soft sand, slow flo) and that guy is doing great. My quandry is that the baby jellies in my show tank won't survive. Flow levels are too high and no good substrate, etc. etc. So..I'm going to be moving a chunk of LR that has them into my jelly tank....the problem is that it also has about a dozen shrooms on that rock!
Will they be ok under 10k standard lighting in a 10gal tank with a very low flow HOTF.
Anything I should know before I put em in? Oh, water quality is great, 0/0/0

Last time I checked jellys need special Kreisel tanks in order to do well. They are far too sensitive.

Different type of jellies...these are upside down jellies. They lie upside down and 'pulse' Only jelly IMO that should be kept unless you're a marine biologist...those Kreisel tanks are $$$$!!
Most of their food is thru zooxanthallae but they occasionally will eat other things ('pods when small..sometimes small fish when larger)
Low flow is good..too high will sweep them away. Soft sand substrate to protect them from damage. It's the water flow I'm sorta worried about..I've got babies on a chunk of LR but there are shrooms on there as well.
Shrooms like moderate flow...with lower flow rates, will they suffer? I'm only keeping them in here until all the baby jellies grow out of their hydroid stage on the rock

That is the common assumption. In fact, especially upside down jellies, do not necessarily need Kriesel tanks to survive and thrive (hey it rhymes).

I think the shrooms sohould be fine, they are tough as far as 'corals' go.

You could frag the shrooms if you're really worried about it. They might grow back from the stump in your 10 but the frags will definetly survive in your display.

No pics as of yet The digicam I got on eBay doesn't have the cable I need)

Well, I now have 3 jellies in here doing very well. I have a Whisper pump that came with my 2.5gal bowfront which seems to give enuff water flow. I do need a better light tho...my shrooms are all standing up stretching for the light 8O

I'll get pics soon as I can. The tank isn't that bad...lotsa pods kicking around the sand. They sorta look like dung beetles with the way they roll around the sand.
