Spirorbid Worms?

[jash]

I just walked in from work and realized that my tank’s glass is covered in these tiny little wormlike critters. After doing some Nancy Drew’ing on Google and a couple of forums, the closest thing I’ve found that resembles it is spirorbid worms or detritus worms. Could someone ID these for me? Thanks in advance!!

Those just look like normal copepods...good things.
Spirinoid worms are actually very hard little white snail-like shells that adhere to things in your tank...they don't move.

Awesome thanks! There’s a good bit of them and they’re all starting to stick to the glass. Is that normal or will they dwindle down a bit in the future? I don’t mind if they’re good for the tank, just kind of an eyesore if they’re going to be taking up valuable glass real estate!

Normal pods.
