    I stole the picture from Google Images. But it is a very good one. We had hydroids EVERYWHERE on our glass. We would take the mag float and battle those guys 3 times a day and they would always come back. Eventually, the just disappeared forever. We were glad to have them gone haha.

    I will try a picture this afternoon. But they are tiny specs not like the picture below. I clean the glass and they come right back.

    Alright I am unable to get a picture of what is on my glass and I gave myself a headache looking. I am 44 and the eyes arent what they were last year. So I asked my bride 21 <--ha ha she really is 37. She says that they look like stars and not swirly? I guess my next stop is reading glasses:confused:

    Then perhaps she should see this thread and view the hydroids photo. She can give her opinion on whether that's the source of speck. :)
