Foraminiferans, harmless. :D
 
Your awesome thank you. I was worried. is there anyway to get rid of them though?

Another common newer tank phenomena. The structures are so hard that it's difficult to manually remove them. I have never experienced Foraminiferans to become invasive, they typically die back as a tank ages.
