Pods? Pests?

[Skarletskunk30]

I had a little green slime bloom and I realized there were little white specks on my rocks that are moving around which I have never noticed. I dont know if they are pests or pods. Pics below.

Hard to tell from the pic, any chance you can pull one out and get a closer picture?

How fast do they move? DO they move in a straight line or back and forth erratically?

They are way to small to pick up. Those pics were enlarged a little.

They move erratically. I talked to my lfs and they believe they are pods. They ate up the green algae tho.

My guess is pods then. They eat algae

Not sure how far you zoomed in, really don't look like pods to me, kind of look like small snails. Pods are usually flatish. The only pods I have that stick out are the tigers. Plus my pods are active after lights out as far as eating/grazing goes. Or dark corners, under rock ledges.

The white things on the glass in the second pic look like pods.

Can you do a video and post it of them moving?

I hope so thank you!

I never thought of baby snails but that could be a possibility. Cause I have turbo grazers and nerites. The nerites speed eggs all the time but never hatched all the time for the past year. The video wont upload but I could see the possibility of a shell. They are on the rocks and in the little nooks and crannies too.
