If your talking about that opaque looking thing, it looks more like a tunicate to me.

If you see tiny dots walking around on your glass, they are pods

no one doubts ur display looks better, i cant make out between water dried marks and other stuff thats why i asked for a clearer pic. if you read all the above comments no one really can make out what to look for, pods are small sometimes very small.
anyways judging for blurry pic and size alone its not a pod more like a tunicate.

The one lower is a scypha sponge. The larger one is a tunicate. Both are harmless.
