Can you describe them a little more? Are they stationary or do they move around? Do they have a crown? You might want to let them grow on the front glass a little bit longer for identification purposes.

I couldn't get a better picture but they look feather like, maybe 1 to 2mm long. One end of it attached to the glass and the other end free flowing with the water current. Thanks!
