Hi all - there's a ton of tiny white things with feather-like heads growing on the glass and on the back of the tank. They look exactly like mini feather dusters. Is that what they are? Are they bad or indicative of anything negative? Included is a picture.

Vermetid snail, not the greatest thing to have growing in your tank. I have them, so far hasn't caused any problems but I've heard of people nuking their tank to get rid of them. Think they become a problem when they start growing near the base of your corals
