They look like regular feather dusters to me.

 

[joshuashih1]

so you dont think they are a problem these guy are very tiny

 

[Ted]

Feather dusters are good filter cleaners...

 

[Smitty]

Yep, feather dusters are safe.

 

[joshuashih1]

even tho these things are small they are fine?

 

[ErinCahir]

They're mini feather dusters. Common hitchhiker. They won't harm anything in your tank and they'll come and go dependent on how much food is available for them.

[ErinCahir]

They look like stomatellas to me.

And FWIW, try a site like photobucket for your pictures. Dropbox isn't really the best option for sharing pics here.

 

[joshuashih1]

are they ok?

 

[ErinCahir]

They're good hitchhikers.

 

[joshuashih1]

thanks so much!

 

[ErinCahir]

For sure.
