Anyone have any idea what these circular things are. Added a bottle of pods a couple weeks ago and there is more than an explosion going on. Never seen this before tho. Thanks everyone
Tried a video but it wouldn’t accept it. They are round w like 5 dots around the skirt. I know they are not flatworms. But what kind of pod or whatever is this

Are they moving around? Hard to see in your picture but I wonder if they are hydroids. Hydroids won’t be actively moving around. If the dots are moving, then I have no idea

If they are hydroids, they should go away over time.

Yes they move. Rather quickly actually. I’ve been in the hobby for 20 years. Never quite seen a pod explosion like this. Tank looks like a billion micro bubbles. Turned off all pumps skimmer return etc. and started to watch so called bubbles move and was like holy crap lol. Thanks for your input.
