Default tiny small white tubes

They are growing on my back glass and some of the top rocks in the piles. They are very small white round single loop looking things. Kinda siliar to the small tubes the feather dusters make. Are they tiny baby feather dusters? They are kinda showing up gradually. No big deal.

OH and they do not move at all. They just seem to be multiplying slowly. They are not on the fish. I have not had any fish problems for about 2 months now. Nor have I added anything new. So its something that was around and just showing up. I do have large feather dusters I put in myslef.

I have the exact same things in my tank. They don't seem to cause any problems. If you don't like them you can scrap them off prety easily.

Yup, they wont cause any problems. They are a type of worm I believe, usually a sign of over feeding or "dirty" water. May want to test your water to make sure params are in line, but other than that not to worry
