Tiny white things

[Kristy3693]

I have these tiny white things growing everywhere. They look a little like seashells. Circular, some have a little orange tip. Almost like a feather duster. I tried to take a picture, but they are too small. I tried google with no luck. Any idea?

hmmm really difficult without the picture... can you send any picture you have?

Going to come clean here. Not sure how to post a pic! Lol

I just use photobucket. Easy and has more space than your account for the forums. I would say that you are correct with them being tiny dusters. It is pretty normal to see a spike in growth of them during the first year of a tank's life. I had them all over my glass for quite a long time.

Alright, that's good. They are all over my turbo snail's shell. Lol! Let me try photo bucket!

Ok, signed up for photobucket. I'm on an iPad. How to I get them from there to here?

Google sundial snails and see if it matches.

Have you examined anything come out of them yet? I think they are a type of fan worm, i have some similar and noticed little red worms come out. Filter feeders so beneficial i presume but if they're population suddenly explodes I believe i red somewhere that can be an indication you have an excess amount of nutrients in your display. I take a moment of silence everytime I scrub them off the front of my tank 0~0

No worries

Awesome! Yup, mine seem to have little red/orange tips. Thank you for helping me identify. For everything I figure out I see two more things I can't identify! Lol
