Default white mites

today after turning on the lights to my tank i was looking around and noticed a bunch of these little white mite looking things all over the glass. what are they, and should i be worried about them?
thanks

Could be pods which are good. Or could be flat worms which are bad. "mites" would make me think pods though. Can you get a picture?

Hi,
If they are like what I saw/see on my glass they are way too small to get a picture of them.

well i tried to get a pic and couldn't. i think you guys are right i think they are pods. although i have never seen them either.lol they almost look like little pieces of sand that move around on the glass.

Sounds like pods dude, thats a good thing. Shows that your tank is doing good and maturing. Your fish will be stoked too...I hear from my clown fish that those pods are GOOD eatin'!

Agreed nice pics! And yes your mites are in fact pods...tastey treats for many fish and other critters.

Shows your tank is beginning to mature...
