Please excuse the algae build up.

Good pod? I'm seeing more of these and more often.

This one is pretty stationary. I've only seen 1 two days in a row and usually in the same side of the glass: Ghost flatworm? Or at least thats what i'm hoping for and not one of those red ones that I have to syphon out.

This is the one that I have no idea on... I've seen 2 of these on different spots on the glass. Really small like a couple mm. To the point its really hard to get the phone camera to focus haha. The base of it seems to have 8 legs? then from the other end you can see hair like strands. Or maybe what i'm seeing is the arms and the center dot is the stock. Aiptasia? but on the glass?

1. Good pod
2. Flatworm hard to determine species in blue light.
3. Hydroid possibly

The 2nd one looks like a good flatworm. Lionfishlair.com had a great hitchhiker guide back in the day lol.
3rd could be a baby aptasia or zoa spider from the way you describe it. Hths

How much color would i be looking for? I'll go double check again when the lights go out.

Interesting on the hydroid. A brief search found this image on nano-reef.com where the person calls it a white hydroid medusa.

I don't think its a zoa spider. Saw some photos of that today in this sub. super creepy looking.

Random thought: I think i can spend hours on this sub alone...
