Yeah I kow exactly what you mean.. Little crusty things that don't move.. I googled them once but forgot what they are called.
Little feather duster or tube worms. Google feather dusters on glass should get you an image of them.

Bingo !
With 2 pairs of readers and a magnifying glass, I can just make out the feathers
Makes sense with all the overfeeding :rolleyes:
Closest online image I could find is this one

Hey I have these guys in my tank too! So are they not a bad thing then? My arrow crab seems to enjoy picking them off my glass.
