They look like pods (99% sure), but if they are stuck to the glass some of those could be baby snails.

How do you get pods to start with? I keep looking and I can't find any. I don't see any in the refugium or the tank. ?????

I have a 40 gal tank with chaeto in the sump/refugium, but I just got it set up about a month ago. I have live rock in it that was in the 29gal that this one replaced. This is my first sump or refugium

My pods must have come in with the live sand, possibly on some crabs. That is all I have in the tank right now. It took 6 weeks for them to become noticeable.

The best way to prove to yourself that you ahve pods is to remove all the predators- namely fish. Im guessing you have them, but just dont see them.

I'll let you know how fish effect the pods, I will getting fish in a few weeks. Right now all I have are a few crabs and snails. Right now there are thousands of tiny pods on the glass in the refugium and main tank. I don't know how long it takes for them to grow larger.

6 line wrass will eat pods.....all of them, lol

 

[cameron]

He won't eat the all, but you probably won't see them during the day and even at night it might be difficult.

 

[jaustin]

yeah, i was just being sarcastic. He will eat all that he see's.
