Ever since i added my WWC haul (which i dipped) i've noticed in the last few days hydroids and pods all over my glass. today i noticed something new. attached is a picture. Can you help ID and what actions i should take moving forward. tank is a 4 months old. Thanks in advance.

definitely have hydroids circled at the bottom but above the hydroids kind of looks like bryopsis from what i've gathered searching in the forums.
 
I'm going to go with bryopsis, thats how mine looked when it started, nipped it early with fluconazole as described on this forum (didn't have corals at the time but apparently its reef safe).
 
@ZipAdeeZoa Thanks! i seen that suggestion on the forums as well so i got some reef flux coming tomorrow. hopefully i can wipe it out early. as far as the hydroids, do you have any experience with those? i've read to just cut out/down on feeding to starve them and they should go away. other than that i don't see many options.
