There are hundreds of tiny white bug looking things on my glass walking around. They are too small to get a pic of but does any one havean idea to what they are?

pods.

[HornetMech242]

I was hoping that is what they were. I was thinking they were not though because my sail fin is not going after them and my is only about eight weeks old.

I have them and they are small snails.

Are you talking about that brown and white snail? Thats the only thing i can see in the pic.

[kau_cinta_ku]

my guess are pods also.

[HornetMech242]

Well that is good news. i was about to run the magnet across the glass and thought i better not since it would kill them.

You wont kill them, you will just knock them off and they will swim somewhere else. If you are talking about a sailfin tang, they wont eat the pods. Most wrasses will and manderins really enjoy them also.

They likely are isopods.

Agree, pods. Keep up the good work.

[HornetMech242]

they are very tiny. My glass is turning green and i want to clean it. So i will go slow and let them get away before the magnet of doom gets them.

They'll be fine. I wipe with my magfloat, they fall off and then just find a new spot, so dont worry too much. You're not gonna hurt 'em.
They are almost certainly pods, but they 'could' be tiny snails as well. Probably pods though ;)

Clean your glass if they are populating your glass you can assume you have hundreds of thousands of them in the rocks. Oh yeah and everyone is correct you are not hurting them anyway.

[mrbigshot]

as stated there are so many more that even if you did kill them the rest would go on unscathed

[HornetMech242]

Lol, ok i will cleanthe glass and do a water change tonight. i got alot or work to do. hang the auto top off controller and outlet also.

[jetmech_05]

pods or snails, either way you wont hurt them.
