started to notice these a few weeks ago, I mistook then for sand but realized they are critters once I looked under a magnifying glass. Heres what i saw:


they seem to be on the aglae alot and i did have a phosphorus problem until a recent water change.

I have 1 clown, 1 fire fish, 4 turbo snails, 2 bumble bee nassarius, 2 nassarius but one died, some anemone and peppermint shrimp.

could these be baby nassarius snails? If not what are they?

My first though is baby snails - yes and nassarius is likely one
