Star like things on tank glass

Is it like little white specs instead of full asteriba stars if so I think they are just harmless little filterfeeders take a pic.

Asterina starfish most likely. They are quite easy to remove when there is supposedly "a few" but they can quickly reproduce. They can eat dying corals, but you don't have to worry too much about them.

EDIT : nevermind, i have just seen the photo. Yeah, they are most likely hydroids.

Common in a new tank. They'll go away.
