White specks/stars on glass

[Eric Rap]

Hey!

Any idea what these white specs are on my glass? they seem to have 4 mini lines come off them (see one near top right corner) . Wondering if these are a good sign?

Thanks!

Looks like hydroid.

The ones that move are copepods (free food for fish and coral) and the little snowflake object as mentioned is Hydroid
Take a credit card and remove, net and discard the hydroid

Thank You! Unfortunately after searching it definitely is a hydroid. Heard they aren't a good sign in your reef tank...but my tank is only about 3 months old. Hope they end up going away. The hydroids in my tank also are too small to net, they're like 0.25mm

They’ll likely go away, just one of the phases of a tank maturing in my experience. I’ve never touched them and they’ve disappeared as fast as they show up.

Nothing wrong with tank. They filter feed and can multiply. removed from rock with a oaring knife and glass with an old credit card.
