Need Help IDENTIFYING

[mervin]

Hey Reefers!

I’m currently cycling my tank. I’m a newbie and just wondering what is all over my glass? I’m guessing it came from the live rock. Any ideas?

Thanks in advance!

Healthy tank sign. Likely a mixture of copepods/amphipods. I also see Acoel flatworms as well. These flatworms are harmless but if the population gets out of control they can irritate coral. For now just leave it all be. Let the ecosystem balance itself out. Enjoy the cycle!

If you are still cycling your tank and pods are already thriving, you are off to a great start.

I don't know the answer but the title really struck me funny in today's age.
Everyone is have problems with identifying today. LOL

Probably copepods that lives in the live rocks.

Thanks for the input reefers! Those little white things don’t actually move. I thought they were were related to the pineapple sponge. They are just smaller. Apparently they love the glass….Actually, I don’t see any acoel flatworms.
