One more "translucent" thing growing on plug?

Sorry for the additional request, but since I started getting paranoid after reading about pests and such, I was hoping for 1 more ID request (for today!). Thanks so much for all the help here!

I’m seeing a few things, most notably the vermetid snail. Also looks like a sponge on the side.

Thanks so much!

Thanks so much! One more question then: How paranoid do I have to be that I now have these all over the place.......?

They spread, but I doubt it has yet. The new ones would likely be near it, and I don’t see any. They are pretty easy to kill anyway. You should be fine once you get this guy.

Thanks so much. Definitely will be on the lookout.

Agree. They key is to stay on top of them as they pop up and likely will never be too big of an issue. The problem is when you ignore them and keep dumping food in the tank for a few months while they multiply exponentially. Once they get to plague proportions thats when they become much more difficult to eradicate
