Tiny pink bugs started sticking to my glass about a week ago. Are they some type of pod? I have not seen any on rock, fish or corals - just glass. Appreciate any help.

Please post a pic. Could be a number of things and an improper ID could be detrimental to your tank.

That really is a great pic. I haven't figured out how to post pics yet, but can't even get a clear pic of these tiny bugs anyway. Those are not what I have. The ones I have are rounded at the top and have a split tail - kind of shaped like a cartoon ghost, but with just two points at the bottom. The largest ones are 1/4 the size of a grain of rice. Any ideas?

Sounds like regular copepods? Take a look at these guys http://www.fcps.edu/islandcreekes/ecology/copepod.htm i think pod colour probably depends at least a little on their diet too.
