I found white things stuck to the back glass of the tank. They look like ju-jubes with a feather sticking out the top. What the heck are they?

are they kinda long and narrow? Might be tube worms or a featherduster?

Nope...short and stumpy...just like someone glued white Ju-Jubes to the glass.

Hmmm...cool but not them. These are really fat and short. Very white also.

that would leave me to say some kind of barnacle. theres many kinds but this is a basic pic.

they will have hair like tentacles stick out from the top when they are feeding.

I think the sponges may be it. Is it possilble they just appeared out of nowhere on the glass? They look like the eyes on potatoes but are only white.
