it look white in shape of " 8 " all over my glass trillion of them :scared:. It just happen today for the first time, by the way its FOWLR

after research i found out its pods, i'm suprise that my tank have fish only with no live rock [will buy in the future] but now i have trillion of them in my tank. Anyone know how did it happen? and what fish should i buy to keep them under control?

yes i have live sand and fake corals, please give me some advise on fish to keep the pods under control. By the way they look white and tiny like salt grain..it clean all the tank algae in one day, i just want to make sure is pods.
sorry for my grammar

are they hard and stuck to the glass look like little white coils? might not be pods - might be spiroloid worms (spelling?) --- i have hundreds on back of my tank - harmless filter feeders.

I have hundreds of poda in a 10 gallon tank. My husband thinks they are taking over. Some are getting quite big. They are FAST !!!! We do have live rock and they are too fast for the shrimp to catch. The Chromis, snails, etc could care less about them. We have a microalgae plant in the tank and find them hanging on it in the morning. How many are too many?
