help identify

[trex]

I have a 55g tank with about 65 pounds of lr and a small frag of zoos. last night i turned my light on and there were alot of little white things crawling all over my rocks. They are so small its hard to identify them. I have had my tank for about 7-8 monts now and just transfered it to my new place.When i transfered it i replaced the cc for sand and and added a about 20 lbs of base rock. all my perimeters are perfect. Any help with what the small little white things? Thanks

They are probably harmless, little copepods.

i also have white spots on my glass. they look exactly like coraline but white. Is there white coraline?

I think if coralline is white it is dead. Check the hitchiker thread in the archives and see if they are spiorbid worms.

thanks for all the help, i have been at this for about 6-7 months and still learing a ton. One more question, what is the white thing between the two zoos?

Looks like a q tip sponge, which is a harmless filter feeder.
