Stringy thing growing on the aquarium glass ID

[AquaticReefTV]

Hey everyone,

my aquarium is about 1 year old, this thing growing on the glass since the last month or so.
it would be great help if you could help me ID it.
in the video in the last 20 sec, it is a bit blurry sorry, It is shot with a magnifying glass since it is so tiny.


thanks

Really hard to say - possibly benthic ctenophores?

I don't recognize the name, but from a google search it doesn't seem like that's it.

here are some better pictures:

it is like this intersecting string structure with small aptasia-like mouths as small as an ant.

I'm not sure here - I'm not familiar with anything with that sort of growth pattern that that's small. Hopefully someone will recognize it for you.

Also, welcome to Reef2Reef!

could be a marine Bryozoa- can’t say for sure from the photo but if there are small “polyps “ with filtering apparatus and are connected then certainly could be a bryozoan

thanks, might be.
I will upload a better picture in a couple of days with some dark background and a macro-lens.
