See these on my front glass. More than usual. I've just gone through a major tank die off of fish due to brook. Are the parasites ever visible OR are they strictly microscopic? Are these just normal pods/snails/hydriods/ect?

More hitchhikers, now on the side of one of my frags. Not sure if these are feather dusters as they don't seem to have a tube to retract into. Are these part of the coral? Although they don't look like.

1st. Possibly an asterina starfish. Either leave alone, or pluck it before it breeds out of control.

2nd. Hydroid. Not much you can do. You can scrape it off with an algae scraper just like you would algae, but there are bound to be more in your tank. They come and go and don't pose much of a threat to anything except the smallest fry
