Tenny tiny white spccs on the front of the tank

[wareagle35031]

I just looked at my tank and saw a bunch (100 or so) teeny tiny white specs no bigger than a pencil point, on the front of my tank. Upon further investigation I saw 6 even smaller legs ancoring them to the glass, WTH is this??

[wareagle35031]

yeah best I can tell
what the heck is it?

[NU-2reef]

hydroids i dont know much about them but i do know they go away.

i had a bunch and never saw it again after 2 months.

but becareful i read that they can grow to mass populations.

just keep your params in check and continue to water change and it should go away.

What you have seen on your tank glass could be copepods. Aclear picture would enable a positive id.
