    Help identifying Organisms in Refugium - Please

    I noticed today that my Fuge has about 30 or so of these white "things" . I don't know what they are. Can anyone help? They are about 0.5" long and look like something in a cocoon.

    I don't know the name of them. However, I have come to learn they are a simple filter feeder that usually is found in sumps and refugiums.
