I started my tank on 3/19 with all dry rock/sand. I also used a baseball size piece of LR halfway through the cycle.

A few days ago I picked up some corals from a local guy and today I see soem hitchikers which I assume came from the corals and mushroom rock I got.

These guys are tiny, like half the size of a grain of rice. Same shape as rice. They seem to be like a light brown and have a white dot in the "mouth" area. There also appears to be like a yellow/gold thing inside the creature at the other end from where the "mouth" is.

I've seen two so far on my glass. I do have some algae on the glass and it does appear to leave a path when going over algae but then it backs out f the algae quickly anyway.

Any ideas?

Pictures might help

really tough without pics. Could be flatworms (no legs) good or bad depending on kind, or maybe pods (tiny crustaceans), or something else altogether. Those would be my first guesses.
