I noticed them yesterday. I cleaned the the glass with my mag float, but they came back today. They are tiny bright white spots with what looks to 5-6 extensions coming off each of them. Any clues.

It could be hundreds of things. Most likely either Spirorbid Worms, Hydroids, Copepods, or Isopods.

Do you have snails? They could be "deposits" made overnight by your algae eatin friends!

I would go out on a limb and say either Hydroids or Aiptasia. Niether are good.
