What is this Thing?

So my tank is about 3.5 months old now. I have a 47g bowfront, 305 fluval filter, Aero Force Skimmer, 2 Koralia Hydor PH, T5 Lights. My parameters are stable.

I have these swirly things most are very hard dark purple in color. I tok a picture of these on my frogspawn. There are also 2 on my return hose. They look like curlry little pig tails.

Also I was wondering if there is such a thing as too much copopods, mysis and amphipods things, because I seem to have a lot.
