tiny star shaped critter on glass

[MsBean]

Can I get an ID on this tiny white star shaped thing on my glass (just after cleaning it)? has little wavy tentacles, only about 2mm across. Anything to be worried about?

Looks like a baby hydroid. You want to remove it, they can be an issue. Mainly because they can sting livestock and you if you aren't careful when they are full grown. What's in the tank?

Thanks, that was my best guess too but I wasn't sure.

The tank is fallow now, 2 clowns are in a hospital tank for a few more weeks. However I have recently brought in some new corals so it may have hitchhiked on one of those. All softies and LPS.

You can nuke em' with Fenbendazole but it'll wipe those coral out! ...among other things.

Ok I'll just try to suck it out physically, and keep an eye out for more.
