Well....can't tell because have no scale to determine their size etc...however, they LOOK like baby starfish possibly serpent stars and if not they could be these things called ISOPODS or CYNOPODS I cant really remember...I had my tank simply COVERED IN THEM for a period of time...until I purchased a scooter blenny that started swimming up the side of the glass with his mouth open eating them....
Anyways.....that is my BEST GUESS.... If they are on the cynopods or isopods they are basically GOOD for the tank or a part of cycling etc.....as far as I know... I am not a pro...but that is my best guess |

I think they are either a bug or macro algae or feather duster, or possibly a spore off of a coral?....either way I dont think its harmful...unless they start looking like aiptasia or a pesky algae

They are hydroid jellyfish, should not be a problem unless they get out of hand.
