Has anyone ever experienced this?

[Reefdiculous22]

So I was looking my tank over this morning and noticed a bunch of little white spots on my tank so I took a closer look and noticed they were kinda moving. Has anyone ever experienced this? Is it a good thing or a bad thing. My tank is 2 months old and I watch it like a hawk and this is the first time I’ve seen this. They are VERY tiny. What are your thoughts? Thanks ,happy reefing!

Snails,pods or barnacles. If crawling around probably pods.

All good really.

Doesn't look like anything bad, pods most likely.

That’s cool. I did add a jar of pods about a week ago. I believe tig pods. I added in the refugium but thought I killed them all because I forgot to turn off the carbon reactor so I thought they all got sucked thru there.

I don’t have any phyto in the tank, will they all die off without it?

 

[DeniseAndy]

Doubt it. They eat almost anything. Can add phyto if you want, or they will eat detritus nicely.

Free food for fish and coral

That’s great. Thank you for the help. I had a feeling it was probably pods. My fish are attacking the glass like crazy eating them. Lol
