Looking for help trying to I.D this small white strands in tank. Showed up after water change, detritus worms?

Probably just filamentous algae covered in white detritus kicked up during the water change. Could also be digitate hydroids if they retract when disturbed, but doesn't quite look like it from the photo.
 

HOW MUCH DOES A FISH’S FEEDING REQUIREMENTS AFFECT YOUR STOCKING DECISIONS?

  • A lot! - I avoid fish that require frequent or specialized feeding

  • Quite a bit, but an automatic feeder can change my answer

  • It depends on whether my nutrient export can handle it

  • It depends on how badly I want the fish

  • Not much. I’m willing to adjust my routine

  • Not at all. Feeding demands don’t limit my stocking choices

  • I usually learn about the demanding feeding schedule after buying the fish!

  • I haven’t really considered this before

  • Something else (see my comments in the thread)
