I was cleaning the front glass of my tank today and there were these very small, pinkish looking things on the glass. They looked almost like they had a whirl or star-shaped pattern to them. Kind of like these star-shaped snails I saw once... but these were really, really small, like the head of a pin, maybe, and they weren't moving. I've never seen them before. Any ideas?

It could be anything from algae to baby snails. Have you got a picture?

I don't even know how I would take a picture. They are that tiny. I can try tomorrow.

Sounds like they could be spirorbid worms, which are harmless.

If they look like these, they're Spirorbis - and good.

That's them!!
So this is a good sign, then?

Yes, one of the signs of a healthy system.
