Snails? Slugs? WTH are these white things?

[Nitzanah]

Noticed these weird things on the media containers. Any idea what they are and should I be concerned?

Those look like pods to me. They are good, so no worries.

Hard to tell from picture but looks like white flatworms to me.

Good reads to get you stated if thats what they end up being. If that is what they are, chime back in as there are several people with experience with these things that can help you and a few are up north by you as well.

Here's another quick read from Ron Shimek

I agree...they look like white planaria. From that article it looks like you shouldn't have much to worry about.

Almost look like pineapple sponges. Do the move?

 

[Nitzanah]

Yes they've moved. I originally noticed them on one side of the glass. A couple days later they were gone. I found them on the media containers when I went to change the filters today.

+1 to flat worms

Can you get a better pic? Are they flat or rounded

 

[Nitzanah]

Sorry it's been so long. Had a family emergency and had to travel.
Heres a better picture. I've noticed these things have moved to some of my coral now and I'm losing my torch coral that I've had for 7 months with no problems. No idea if these things are the culprit of that or not.
