What are these all over my tanks glass

[ZaydRossi]

Hey guys,

I have got hundreds of these little critters on my tanks glass. I have no clue what they are. Please assist.

Probably copepods/amphipods. Good scavengers and food source for other inhabitants.

It could be copepods or diatoms, but its hard to tell without pictures.

These look like hydroids. Harmless and tend to disappear over time on their own
