    :help:
    I am noticing white spots on the inside of my tank on the glass. There is none on the fish. They are to small to take a pic of clearly. But anyway, if I didn't know better, they look like very, very small snails..... Does anyone have any suggestions????:-/ :confused: :-/

    Most likely copepods.... Might want to check the ID portion of this site.
    Also could be spirobid worms, or similar "duster" worms.

    Do they move?

    I can tell you if you see them on the glass it is safe to say that they are NOT parasites!

    Don't worry!

    I tried to sit there to watch to see if they move but that got tedious. So I marked the one with a crayon. and no movement that I can tell by. The Copepods sounds like a right assumption, I have just started to gain raising in my fuge....But I will research the other 2 names a bit to see if they could be them...
