Hi all! So I had purchased a buce brownie culture back in November (roughly 7 months ago) from my LFS. I found a nice, mostly shady spot under some drift wood and glued it a rock in my 55 gallon. The photos where it looks nice and pretty and bushy are when I first put it in the tank.
I then went on vacation for a week and somehow my heater had broken and the water had dropped from 78 to 68, potentially lower at night (the person checking in did not check on the temp🤦🏻‍♀️). I came home to what looked like a completely dead plant, thankfully no fish fatalities. I scraped off most of it but left any pieces that seemed to have green.
Fast forward to today: I was moving some rocks around and vacuuming the substrate and noticed these two tiny guys. I assume they’re buce but they could also be Anubis’s as I have those too. Is it even possible they survived all that? Do these look like buce??

I have a 2016 jeep Cherokee sport
It is used on a mail route so constant stop and go, I only hear the noise when I’m driving, never braking. It seems to be coming from the drivers side. I just had the front brakes and rotors replaced (picture is from before the replacement). It also just had the control arms, shocks and struts, tie rods, and motor mounts replaced. (all a little over a month ago) I’m wondering if the grinding noice I’m hearing is my wheel bearing? Does anything stick out as off to y’all? I will post photos in the comments as it won’t let me post them with the video of the noise.
