Little white things swiming at the top of water

[jwhiteuwc]

Hello,
I noticed the other day that I have a few (dozen) white, fuzzy, small things swimming very fast (skimming basically) across the top of my water. Ever hear of such a thing?
I wish I could post a pic, but those little guys are moving pretty fast.
Any ideas?

Hello,
I'm sure not a seasoned expert, but I have quite a few copepods that buzz through the water real fast, sometimes it looks like it's snowing on my glass. If one of your guys takes a rest on the glass, grab a good magnifying glass, and see what he is. Might be easier to ID them. I actually found a few hydroid jellies in my tank.
Good evening,
Neil

What you're seeing is the Epitoke stage of some type of Polychaete Worm. Good fish food or good way to repopulate your worms if they don't get eaten.

These more or less came from my Freather Dusters huh?

Probably not. I would guess them to be from a common Bristle Worm.

Strange, as I don't think I have any
I have a sandbed and some LR, but i didn't notice any hitchhickers when I received the LR. LS is just southdown and only been there for about 4 months.
