I have a few weird looking things growing in my sump, never really thought about it till now but I think they are moving...

Yeah that can't be good but i dunno

the first pic is of one that is on the front of the sump, so we are looking at the underside of it. About 1" or less across.

and this is looking at the ones on the side so this is the tops of them, you can see that they are not flat like algae would grow I
think.

I sure hope its something harmless or if bad, easily killed/cleared up.

Thanks for looking!!

looms kinda like stometala snails.Can't be sure from the pic. Are there attena? Can you pick them off if you tried? How fast are they moving?

Awe Crap. That's what i was afraid of.

Best way to killem and get rid of em without hurting my fish and anem, the coral can die for all i care(don't have anything but 2 leathers at the moment)
and could this be why i was loosing shrooms and all other params are pretty good?

I'd say get some better pics / examine them more before you start medicating. Are the definitely animals? I have a bunch of sponges in my sump that look like similar to that. Put a couple of dots on the outside of your glass (dry erase marker, tape, whatever) to find out if they actually are moving.
