Tiny critters in my chaeto

[Lavey29]

So I have had my fuge running over a month now and seems successful with tremendous chaeto growth. Really interesting seeing all the little life forms that have migrated to the fuge area. Tiny copepods and larger fish like ones, sponges, asterina starfish, etc...

I see these tiny little critters all over the chaeto now and not sure what they are. Seem like tiny snails or sponges. They look kind of pinkish with black spots almost like tiny underwater ladybugs.

What are these things? Thanks for the help. Mainly on the left side in the chaeto picture below.

Do they look like fleas? Probably just.pods.
Amphibious. Copepods. Or isopods.
Guessing the pink fuge light ur running is whats turning them pink. Lol.

They seem more like tiny snails. Definitely not pods. I can see various types of pods swimming around in there.

pic is blurry but I agree they are some kind of pod that look pink under those lights.

Like this? This is a stomatella snail. The shell is quite subtle.

Here is another pic. Hard to get close up.

I believe they are collonista snails.
Small baby snails that will multiply. U will see them from time now and again in your display eventually.
Good little guys.

It's possible, I looked up the name you mentioned and they do have the spots but don't seem to move like snails though.
