u could syphon them out when doing a water change , they usually goo away in time though as the tank matures

my tank has been set up since september of last year, they are really stuck on the glass good, it takes alot of scraping to get them off of the glass how long till the tank is mature enough for them to go away on there own?

If you have to scrape to get them off its not hydroids. you can rub a hydroid off with your finger tip like a smear of jelly. (dont do it if your allergic to stuff)
if you have to scrape like heck its probably spiro worms.... for some reason I cant think of the name right now.... duhhhhh. man I'm irritating myself.

Hooeey, lots of 'em too!! Not worry though. They're very common and will dissipate in time...course, you could just scrape them off too, but as stated before that takes some doing. Really all they are is teeny tiny featherdusters, filter feeders. I was told that they were a sign of a healthy tank. Good job.
