Pods inside frogspawn

[myclang]

Hey guys. I have a 6 month old tank. It goes through pod explosions once a month. Today I noticed I have what looks like pods crawling around on the inside of the tissue. The coral is fully open. Just curious if anyone has had this issue and if I should even worry? I do have a red scooter blenny to help keep the population under control, and I will be adding a refugium soon. Thanks in advance!

Unless the coral looks agitated, I wouldn't worry about it. I might be misunderstanding your logic (if so, I apologize), but adding a refugium won't cut back on the number of pods within the DT. While they'll probably be more densely populated within the fuge, your total pod population will increase by providing a safe haven for them to reproduce without any predators and they'll make their way into the display.

try to take a picture, just to make sure it's not some kinda evil hitchiker

I wanted to clarify that I'll be adding a refugium as to not detour anyone on giving me advice on the pod diet of my red scooter. I took a pic its the white specks on the tentacles. These same pods? Are all over my glass as well and I've also been getting blooms of tube worms every couple of weeks. Not sure where the source of the worms is though. What do you guys think of the specks? Should I be concerned?

So those pods on/in my frogspawn are fine, and my red scooter will eat the pods and help keep it manageable?

I don't see anything to worry about in the pics. The scooter should help keep the pod population down.

Ok! I almost thought my euphylia had lice! now I keep getting what looks like tiny feather dusters. They're small and spiral shape. At least once a month I get an explosion of them on the glass and live rock. Any idea where, how, and how to stop it or slow it down? I love feather dusters, just don't like seeing my snails get covered in them.
