So I did some moving around with my powerheads and they blew sand everywhere the night before last. So I cleaned everything up and moved the powerheads and now today I have all these almost microscopic starfish looking things all over my glass. I mean they are everywhere. I have seen people post this on here before but I cant remember what they are for the life of me.

Short answer to cloak's link: it's probably a hydroid if it looks anything like a picture on that page. Not really a problem unless you're looking into seahorses, in which case you'll need special meds (the name escapes me atm) to clear them from your tank. Check the Seahorse and Pipefish Forum if you really want to learn more about hydroids.
