What is on my glass???

[saintsreturn]

This is a new one. At first i thought it was.... well i had no idea. But when i scrapped it off, it came off without a problem. All of the rock and coral came from my other tank which did not have this. Thinking it may be part of the new tank cycle, but i have no idea....

110g, running for 2 weeks, transfer from 75g system. No new anything...

Looks like pods. Any movement? Disclaimer.... I’m kinda blind lol

Haha, no worries there. It doesnt help that the camera would not focus on them. No not pods, i wish i had that "problem." It looks like snail eggs in some patches and then like a white hair algae in others. stringy at times. I am interested to see if its back on the glass when i get home. I cleaned it off as soon as i was done moving rock and setting up the corals. Thoughts that went through my head are mucus from corals since i was moving everyone around, diatoms from the early introduction of the livestock and no skimmer running, eggs of some kind.... could just be very young algae since i havent cleaned the glass since i set the tank up.

You have super fine white stringy things that clean off easily. Other than that... Can you get a macro shot? It is at times like these when I experience similar growth of unidentified organisms that I wish I had a microscope. Then just when I'm about to pull the rigger they just, poof, vanish...
