I've been looking at a Monti that looks exactly like these except it is a pale pink. Don't know if they are the same. Going to follow and see what others think.

I think they may be Foraminiferans. Not my image. To be sure you'll have to remove one and break it.

Ok iv got one off they soon as i took it out of water it went more brown . Its only like paper thin . Was softish but being out of water for around 10s it became hard . I just snapped. Hope that makes sense

. Hope pics are ok

 

[chubbyhubby]

dont know if any better of a pic

Snapped as in brittle like a calcium carbonate skeleton, I would say that rules out algae. I am still inclined to think Foraminiferans.

Yes was brittle after being out of tank only for a few seconds. But was soft in the water

Ok just read longest article ever about Foraminiferans . Seems like it covers a world of things was really interesting to read . Seems like they don't grow much and some will move around . So i think i will keep them. There almost from another planet really .
