Hundrerds of snails

[smithce79]

I have a lot of white point over my tank glass, they look like somekind of snails but I dont have an idea about what is it.

This is How my glass look






This is a very big zoom using an iPhone microscope

Any idea?

Spiroid worms?

Feather dusters

Just noticed this myself on my own glass, some type of micro snail perhaps?

If they are moving, look up colonista snails and see if that is what you have. If so, they are harmless, but they will infest your glass heavily during the night.

If they are stationary, look up spionid worms. These are harmless as well.

What iPhone microscope is that?

Good question???

Is that an app or attachment?! I want it! And I heard recently that mysis shrimp lay their eggs in/around these shells? My sump is completely covered in them.

+1 on feather dusters. I have watched mine grow and can see the crown on some of the bigger ones. 2 have come out deep red in colour. Very cool.
