Impossible to tell from the photos. Can you describe the non-pod things? (There are several different types of pods as well)

They are like little white dots with strings or arms growing all around them and they don't move
I agree with @ISpeakForTheSeas (whose eyes are better than mine, lol). These are common in new tanks and will go away on their own.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
