Stupid question

Armyrec1 · 09-18-2007, 10:40 AM

I have a 24g Pod. I haven't had a SW for years, so I don't remember much. Anyhow, my tank has been up for @ 8 months, everything is going smoothly.
Here is my question: There are a ton of little white, hard circular kinda things all over the walls. What are they? I don't have any pics, but I can try to get some if need be.

Thanks in advance

Do they move? come out mostly after dark?
My first thought is baby snails.

No, they do not move. They are like permanent fixtures on the walls. They are very small, and looking very closely at them, they are like small "curly-cues"

Thanks

I just tried to get a close look at them, and some of them appear to have tiny fan type things coming out of them. It's hard to tell though, because my eyes started bugging out staring at them.

They are everywhere in the tank.

Thanks again

they're just a mini tube worm.

the mini tube worms are filter feeders and harmless.
