keddre Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Alright y’all, I have a weird one that I haven’t seen before. Along my front glass and on my smooth plants, I have these little white specs. Looking reeaaalll closely, they look like little cauliflower florets or mushrooms. They have a little foot that’s attaching to the glass, then they they mushroom out with a puff on the end. I took a picture because I know someone will ask, but they are smaller then my photography skills I don’t think they are eggs because all I have are ramshorn snails, detritus worms, planeria and some copepods Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Daniel Posted March 17, 2021 Share Posted March 17, 2021 Do they move if you touch them? If so they are Vorticella: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely it’s harmless but I’m one of those people that like to know every little thing lol 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pearl Posted March 18, 2021 Share Posted March 18, 2021 This sounds exactly like something I had in my dirted 55 gal for the first few months. Never figured out exactly what it was, best guess was that it was the fruiting body of some aquatic fungus. It slowly went away over time and didn't seem to cause any harm, it actually was a great food source for my snails. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
