Can't really tell from the pic...is that coralline starting to grow on it's shell?

 

[coderad]

I don't know... I'll try getting a better pic it is hard cause they are so small, there is only like 5 or 6 little white ball looking things.

White balls, like raised? If so, I wonder if they are q tip sponges :thinking:

 

[coderad]

Yea there raise up like 1/16 or 2/16 of an inch. What is a q tip sponge?

 

[misskitty]

are they in a spiral if you look really close? and do you have any on the back glass?
I DOUBT they are q-tps but if they are.. they are harmless.. I can almost gaurantee they are not q-tips...

Here is a little closer picture.

Q tip sponges are on the hitchiker thread, and so are spioribid worms, the things that misskitty was referring to.
