What is this??

[Gavin1274]

Hello everyone, I can home after being on an exercise for my job, my grandma has been watching my place and everything for me and i noticed all this weird stuff on the glass.. is it another type of algae or?? I have no idea at all and im wanting to know what it is.. anything will help thank you. Also hard to get a picture of it since they are thin and small! Also a weird centipede looking thing??

Looks like diatoms or a sort of film algae. I’d guess brittle star leg sticking out from the rock on the second picture

edit - looked at the picture again and see it’s on the glass. Some sort oF syllidae worm.

Film algae. Turbo snails and astrea will eat it

Great replays, thank you everyone! It's not a film algae I domt think though. It almost looks like aptatia but i havent added anything in a month or so, and it's all over so i dont get it!

Can you point it out or get a more focused picture. Maybe we aren’t seeing what you are. The worm is harmless at least

Look up Medusa hydroids.

Great calls from everyone. I’m assuming this is a new tank? If so, all of these things eventually mysteriously disappear never to be seen again. Nothing to worry about.

How old is your tank?

Here’s an interesting read on these.

Tiny Tentacles — Chuck Kopczak Photography

Hydroids are relatives of sea jellies and sea anemones. All possess stinging cells in their tentacles. Hydroids are colonial, with individual polyps connected through a common base through which nourishment is shared.
