    I noticed today that I have small things growing on the glass. They are about the size of a grain of sand and appear to have tenticles growing. I can't get my camera to take a pic of them. Any ideas?

    Well...without a picture i can only offer a guess...it could be many things...even a baby jelly in the polyp phase...but it could also be one of many other completly harmless maring invertebrates.

    I've seen things like that too, just a bit bigger. maybe 4mm diameter or so. they have a few tenacles much like a BTA. I haven't found any info, yet :)
