|  There everywhere!
So I wake up this morning and notice a bunch of small white specks on my glass. I haven't noticed them until today but I've had some algae problems in the past week and my snails are just getting it cleared off. These things are bright white, circular, and are curly cue shape. kinda like this symbol @. I probably have 50 or so on all sides of the tank except the front glass, maybe because I scrape the front every few days to keep it clear. Tank is about 3 months old. Inhabitants are in the sig. ID and suggestions please.  _________  55 G, with 40lbs LR, 40lbs live sand, Tomato clown, Sixline wrasse, Aussie Duncan, Frogspawn, zoas, blastomussa wellsi, skunk cleaner shrimp, 4 astrea snails, 1 turbo, 12 hermits, 216wt T5HO lighting, Maxijet 600 (modified), Koralia 1, Emporer 280 filter x2. Born from my 20g on 6/8/08. Always a work in progress. |

Juvenile feather duster worms. Not harmful and the population will eventually balance itself out and you'll have less of them. |

Not too many in my tank, but, a ton in my sump. Talk about natural filtration.   _________  | |
