This is a zoomed in picture, if I put my eyes right against my tank I can see what they are so they are very small but I can see them with my eyes so not microscopicIts hard to tell how big they are from your pictures - are they microscopic (i.e .really small - or easy to see with the naked eye?

It’s about 3 months oldHow old is the tank? My guess is they’re a planaria/flatworm that’s feeding on excess nutrients.
Yeah I’d bet they’re just planaria enjoying the excess nutrients and detritus. When you feed, make sure there isn’t a lot of food thats uneaten, and stay on top of water changes. They’re not an issue though; they’ll die down as the tank matures and you get pods that predate themIt’s about 3 months old
I agree - they are a small worm of some type - that is probably just eating stuff off the glass - possibly planaria - are you feeding something into the tank - or are there fish in the tank? Normally most fish will take care of them - as well as 'time'.It’s about 3 months old
Their are fish in the tank yes, I also spot feed my corals twice a weekI agree - they are a small worm of some type - that is probably just eating stuff off the glass - possibly planaria - are you feeding something into the tank - or are there fish in the tank?

Some of them have pointed heads from what I can tell, that would be planeria right?Yeah I’d bet they’re just planaria enjoying the excess nutrients and detritus.
