New Things to Identify

P

I have a pic, but can't figure how to upload it here........

There are new things on my glass. They're slightly bigger than the copepods, white, circular with legs that go all around their bodies. If i can remember the passwords to old websites I used to have, i'll put the pics there with a link. I spent about an hour last night looking through pics of copepods, but didn't see anything resembling these. They look almost like tics

Any ideas?

if its circular with tentacles all around the outside it is probably a hydroid jellyfish. if it has legs and moves it is probably some sort of sea spider. the identity of them is usually pretty hard being there is over 1000 species. i have pics of both but do not know how to post them.
