white barnacle-things

[suziesquid]

I've noticed several, very small barnacle -looking white things in my tank. I took a shell to my LFS and asked the owner to ID the white -thing, but she couldn't. I haven't noticed any disturbance in the tank, ammonia, nitrite, nitrate, and pH are OK. any one know or can guess at what these things are?

I have yet to clean the back wall of my tank since the "great move". I have suff growing on the back and sides that is unknown to most civiliztions. Little barnical dudes that look like feather dusters, pods love to hang there, coraline algae is blooming great, xenia loves it. Leave them alone its nature and it will be fine. I will try to get a close up of them for you and post you a pic but unsure how well camera will do close up and it's not able to get in the tank.

I could take the pic, but then I'm lost as to how to post it. ha ha Anyway, if you could post a pic for me, I'd appreciate it. Thanks for the advice. Do you have any advice for what food to feed a yellow gobie that has lost it's yellow??? I feed flakes, pellets, and frozen formula 2. what else is color enhancing for a blennie and goby? TIA, (thanks in advance)

as far as fish color, he wasnt just woken up was he? I feed everything real food no flakes at all.
