What are these???

When I came home tonight there were little white dots on the back of my glass. On a closer look, they appear to be tiny, pure white worms curled in a circle. My fingers are crossed - are they bad? I also noticed things that look like tiny featherdusters attached in random places, including a powerhead. Sorry I can't post a pic - any ideas, anyway?

I'm not sure what the names of the little white things are called, but the things that look like feather dusters are called featherdusters. Creative huh? I've been told these are all good things

Pods, if you have live rock an live sand you should have pods if there are no predetory fish the have a pod diet, like a mandarin.
Its perfectly normal and it is a good thing!

Whew! Thanks for the replies! Should I just leave them on the glass or scrape them off? I have LR 60# & LS (4") in 55gal - fish = 2 damsels and 2 false perculas. The baby featherdusters seemed to appear overnight - are my older featherdusters gettin' their freak on, or what????:eek:
