These are all over the front of my glass. Tank is a couple of months old ( PODS??)

If I clean the glass they come right back day or night and I never see them move

maybe 1mm

Thanks

look to be micro stars or a filter feeder, either way harmless from what I can see. Just kick them off if they're unsightly, otherwise just sit back and enjoy the tank turning into a life form.

To me they look like hydroids. They can be a problem in large quantities, but usually they starve themselves out before they can really take off. Most starting tanks have them.

do a search for "hydroid jellyfish"

They're not too harmful, just wipe them off with your mag float when you see them...should see them daily but the numbers shouldn't get out of hand.

+1 on the hydroids. With the flow off, you may be able to see them swim around like tiny jellyfish.
