    Little wormy, sluggy things on the glass?

    ok, i've had the tank set up for about 4 and a half weeks now, and i've been getting good readings, so i put in several hermits, one turbo snail, and an emrald brittle star. Today I was looking in wonder into the tank (as i've found myself doing frequently lately) and on the glass I was looking at the red algae, when i looked closer i noticed thousands of little (less than half a mm in length and very thin) creatures milling about. Are these little flat worms? Baby snails? is it anything damaging? I'm very interested, and I was looking for my microscope but I couldn't find it, shoud i be concerned?

    I agree with Skunk Clown "pods" a good thing.
