I am seeing little white spiral shaped organisms on the glass of my tank. Any ideas??

[magtime11]

I have had my tank for a year now and am noticing little white spiral shaped organisms growing on the glass. They Do NOT move. I am starting to see little hairs growing out of a few of them. I did introduce copepods to my tank in the past. I also know I have seen a stomatella in the tank.

I am wondering if they are spirorbid worms. Again, they Do NOT move.

I do not think they are harmful to the tank because my clowns are doing awesome. But, I would really like to be sure.

Help would be great!!

Thanks

Yep

What should be done with them? I've got them too. About fifty so far and multiplying fast.

They are an inevitable part of having a healthy tank. A credit card will easily scrape them off the glass.
