I have lots of white spiral shaped things stuck to the glass. Are these snail eggs? Sorry, no picture.

That sounds like what I have. I didn't know what they were until I started to notice tiny red feather dusters sticking out. So if you have what I have then they are a type feather duster or something very similar to feather dusters.

Spirorbid Worms. take a look here at them http://www.melevsreef.com/id/crawls.html

It could be Spirorbid worms. I looked at the picture. That's certainly the same shape.

Paintbug · 05/08/2006, 12:44 PM

thats probably them then, or atleast something from the Spirorbidae family. they are very common in aquariums. just harmless filter feeders.

Yep I got them too.
look in my gallery for a pic of them from my tank and see if they match..

ive got alot of these things. are they good for the aquarium?

Paintbug · 05/08/2006, 04:25 PM

they are harmless filter feeders. good in the sense they filter the water of small particles of food. bad in the sense they take food from the corals. depends on how you look at it

. i will take all the filter feeders i can get though!
