Helpp!!!!!!

[flasher1]

I have these little white things crawling on my tank walls, some of them look like worms and the others look like anthropods. The other problem I might be having is I have these anemone like things (very small) popping up on my glass. Any natural remedies for any of these?????

I think we need a photo, or else a much better description.

I dont have that kind of lens to shoot something that small. If I werent so anal about algae on the glass I wouldnt have noticed it at all.

The one thing looks like a worm (long and skinny but very small).

The other thing is really small and look like it has tentacles and mounts itself to my glass. I think I counted 8 (tentacles/arms) but they are to small to really tell. Its like a milky white color.

That is the best I can describe them. Come to think about it the 2nd one I described is about the size of a period ( . ). The other one (worm) is about the size of a hyphen ( - ). Both are whitish in color though.

there are very tiny jellyfish and other assorted 'pods and worms that come in on LR. Most come and go, boom and bust, feed the fish etc

Unless they are pretty surely one of the well documented serious pests (red FW's, red bugs, bad amphipods, etc) you probably could go on the assumption that this is part of the coolness and mystery of your reef and enjoy the little shows while they last.

Your crawly things are likely copepods: a good thing. They eat film algae---that's what they're doing there.

Your tentacled thing is a hydroid jelly, and they're not so good, but they only survive a few days and they'll die off. It's a phase some tanks go through.

copepods means GOOD... fishy food... especially for mandarins..
