Are these Pods?

I have these little white things all over the back wall of my reef tank and have no clue what they are... anyone know? They don't look like 'bugs', they don't seem to move. Are they good or bad? Thanks.

Okay, well then they're not pods. I can't figure out what they are. They're quite visible to the

eye. Some are as large as almost 1 cm long. They look slightly round towards the base and then it almost look as if they have a little feather duster tip, but they're too small to tell.

Looks like brine shrimp to me, but they move around alot as well. I'm sure one of hte MOD's have seen em before.

Yeah, they're definitely not brine. They do sway a little in the current, so they're not too hard, but they're stationary.

Well I would assume they're alive because they've attached themselves to the back of my tank. But I don't know what they are, so I'm not postive?

It could either be Vase anename's or a bunch of really small snails that have white pointy shells.

No, my tank is not cycling.
Wouldn't snails move around? I really don't think they're snails. I'm going to look up vase anemones.

I'd say either some type of sponge or possibly a stationary type of snail that will form a base and extend string like structures searching for food...could possibly be either.:thinking:

They are definatley Qtip sponges. They seem to come and go in my tank. You can scrap them off if you do not like them, but they are harmless filter feeders.
