Looks like freshwater hydra? Probably hitchhiked into the tank with some plants.

oh dear, use something like your tweezers and gently touch them if they shrivel up i guess should be what urban aquaria mentioned, hydra, and they can reproduce quite fast. they do easily detach themselves and float around your tank and reattach to plants, wood, rocks, everywhere hahaha. best eradicate them as soon as possible to prevent outbreaks hehe.
Seems like hydra to me
Thanks for the advice. I'm sure it's not hydra.

Happened to stumble upon a thread - http://www.aquaticquotient.com/forum...highlight=mold, which is identical to mine.
I assume it was the jelly on my 1-2 grow plant that caused it.![]()
