I was looking at the tank today and noticed these little bright white star lookin thingys on the glass.
They are tiny, about the size of baby pods and seem to be stationary on the glass. They have 8 points to their star shape and have tiny little threads flowing in the breeze. At first I thought it was just air bubbles but looking closer at the tank, I counted 6 of them. All in the same shape with the tiny threads.
My husband cleaned the glass yesterday but they have been there for at least a week now so even the cleaning magnet doesnt get rid of them.
Umm...what are these things? They certainly dont seem threatening so honestly Im not worried about it. I just want to put a name to the face ya know.
I would get a picture but my camera sucks big time.
So...anyone else have these? What are they and what does it mean if you have them?

They are harmless and typically a boom-n-bust population, so enjoy them while they are around as they'll probably be gone within a month.
