I have these tiny white specs all over my glass. i thought the glass was dirty so i cleaned it b4 i did my water change. now it's back and when u look closely it looks like its moving, what could it be?.. the most recent live stock i put in was 2 live rocks.

maybe pods coming out the lr a pic would help

 

[MissKpisces]

what are pods.. they are too tiny to see in a pic. they are as tiny as specs of dust on a lamp lol

almost to hard to tell without a picture... try a google search on these two names. Amphipod......maybe the Isopod

Thanks it seems to be amphipods...

And take it easy on me i'm new to the hobby i read a lot just never heard of pods. I thought this site was for asking questions and getting info.

 

[MissKpisces]

Look like what?

 

[OzoneParkGuy]

Sounds more like copepods, amiphpods usually don't travel the glass.

Look like this? http://www.melevsreef.com/id/copepod2.html

No they are smaller than that.. i could be seeing them move after looking so closely at them for so long lol...but from reading about them, they seem harmless so i'm not worried anymore. Thanks =)
