I have what appears to be little cinnamon rolls in a few places along my glass, and all over some pieces of LR..Anyone seen anything like this..Very small...

Is there a way to get a picture?
I'm at a lost.

I really dont think so..More like curled up worms of some sort..As far as I can tell they are hard

Hi - I have tons of these on my lr in my newly set-up 29g. I've heard they are some sort of mini-worm, harmless, actually do some filtering. I've also heard they go away after the tank establishes more.

These actually showd up around the eight month mark..

I have these also. I did some research on them and found a site that said these were small feather dusters! I will see if I can find that site again, but I don't think I can post it here because it may be a site violation. I will see if I can find the name again and then you can google it.

from what you've described these hard worms on the glass are harmless filter feeders - they are all over my back glass because thats the only panel i dont clean.

Found this from reefs.org (don't think this is a competitor to this site--seems like info only):
On the glass of my tank, I can see small, white coils that are about 2mm across and have tiny hairs sticking out. What are these guys?
This is probably yet another tube-dwelling polychaete from the Family Spirorbidae. It is yet another harmless filter-feeder that is common in reef aquaria. It is common for these worms to inhabit areas of high water flow, including your tank's plumbing. They readily reproduce via sexual means and often spread throughout the tank, and can generally be considered a sign of a healthy maturing tank.
