Tiny calcareous fanworms. They are adhered to the glass, yes?

Totally harmless and even beneficial - filter feeders.

Yes, they are adhered to the glass and are super tiny, but there are tons of them. Calcareous fanworms sounds so yucky, we shall call them "lil buddies" from now on.

Thank you!

AKA tiny feather dusters (sound better?). Calcareous just describes their tubes. Some fanworms make soft tubes, others make rigid ones (calcium-based, hence calcareous).

They are good lil buddies

Itty Bitty fanworms. That's what I call them. They are fine. In fact, beneficial.
