Tenny tiny white spccs on the front of the tank

I just looked at my tank and saw a bunch (100 or so) teeny tiny white specs no bigger than a pencil point, on the front of my tank. Upon further investigation I saw 6 even smaller legs ancoring them to the glass, WTH is this??

 

reefsparky had a thread that reminds me of this with some great pics ill try to find it.

 

does it look like this

 

yeah best I can tell
what the heck is it?

 

hydroids i dont know much about them but i do know they go away.

i had a bunch and never saw it again after 2 months.

but becareful i read that they can grow to mass populations.

just keep your params in check and continue to water change and it should go away.

 

thanks nu karma to you

 

I have had these same things im glad i found out what they are lol. Mine come and go but i had them when my tank was up and running for a few months but i dont noticce them anymore really.

 

yah i have them right now. they come of if you wipe down the glass. i only wipe the front so i have them on the back but they are slowly going away

 

What you have seen on your tank glass could be copepods. Aclear picture would enable a positive id.

 

or spyrobis (misspelling I am sure), are they like circular under magnification?
