    Hi, I'm new to the forum. I've been treating a bout of Ich that my powder blue brought to my tank for about three weeks now. I have corals so I had been usinf the reef-safe 'Kick Ick' treatment every other day. Well about a week ago I noticed these tiny white specks on the glass, if you look really closely you can see tiny flaggella surrounding them, and they stick to the glass .. less than a mm in diameter. Could these be ich in the second stage of it's cycle? Or ich at all?? They are easily removed with my magnet sweeper. Please help!! I lost my tang already, and now my 2 black clowns, and my lawnmower blenny are looking very ill. Any help is appreciated. Thanks!

    It's likely its a Scypha sponge just begining to grow on you glass. It's best cleaned off with a mag scraper.
