Things on glass

[Everything Aquatics]

These white thing have bee all over my glass, what are they. Is flatworms a possibility

I can't see anything in those pics. Can you take them with whites on?
The only thing I see is what appears to be diatoms or cyano on your rocks.

The left circle looks like it could be a flatworm...any chance you can siphon it out for a clear pic in a bowl?

I’ll try it’s pretty small

The right circle hard to tell from the pic Copepods?

Still hard to see. Your camera is focusing on the background and not whatever the thing is on the glass. Sorry.

Sorry it’s very hard because it’s so small

I totally understand. Perhaps you can put something in the water behind it?
If it has a flat Shape it could be a flatworm. But not all flatworms are horrible. What color is it?

If they are really tiny white "bugs" hopping around the glass, they are Copepods which are great for your tank as a natural food source for fish. If you didn't add them yourself, they were most likely brought in on a frag or piece of live rock.

I got some more pictures hopefully this will help

Some one told me that these were either lps eating flatworms or sps eating flatworms, is this true

The larger looks like LPS eating Nudis. Specifically Euphyillia eating. The small red ones could be Red Planaria flatworms which go after SPS. Still hard to see in pics.

You could use Flat Worm Exit to remove them but be very careful when using it. Mass die off can nuke your tank.
