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?

Look like stars to me. Shouldn’t be a problem. If you must have them gone their are fish that eat them.

Thanks. I had a sand sifting starfish in the tank several months ago that died within a day or two of being in the tank, not sure if he could have come from him.
 
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

Xenia? Maybe some other similar coral?

Clavularia sp.
 
Now this does not seem like a Hydroid. Any ideas? It's about half a millimeter in length, very small.

Found this worm in my socks today. Any idea what it is?
