Moving Fuge light around, and found these crawling around

Im moving my fuge light directly above the tank, and closer to the surface, and how. I took the ball of cheato out to look at it becuase there is some brown strands on it.

THEN

I notiched movement inside the ball of cheato! Upon closer inspection I found these two critters in there, and what used to look like a spider, it got killed while I was cutting these out of the cheato.

They are kinda Hard on the outside I think, hard to describe really.

Look for yourself.



That picture you are looking dead center, then at the critter at the top right corner.



Looking at that white thing in the top right in that one.

I have them sitting in a cup until they are ID'D incase they are bad..


Thanks!

EDIT- Upon closer inspection they look like impossibly small snails! My camera is charging I will get better pictures in a little bit

Good Luck..!!

P.s shake that chato above your tank and let them drop in ur tank your Fish will love them as a tasty treat..!!

 

Hard to tell by photo's but probably pod's definately not a problem.

 

I love how newbies freakout over the simplest things! I was the same way though so I mean no disrespect. It's just really funny. "I have them sitting in a cup in case they're bad"...LOL!

 

WEll i also wanted to see what they were without a mess of cheato surrounding them. I wasnt freaking out. I just wanted to see what they were. The ball of cheato was given to me by a local reefer, Who knows what they could have been. haha.

They are now in the fuge cleaning the glass.
