I know it's not nice to ask for ID help with no pictures, but these things are tiny tiny. I just can't get a shot where you can see them at all. They look like small circular white dots on the glass between 0.5 and 1mm in diameter and they all have 5 to 10 little tentacles radiating out on the glass about 1 -2 mm long, but so fine you can barely see them. When I saw the first one, I thought there was a chip in the glass. But now there are tens of them all on one end of the tank. (75ga) They come off when I use the mag float on the algae, but I am letting them grow in one little spot to see if they get bigger or turn into anything. So far (3 weeks since I first noticed them) nothings happened. The tank is only 8 weeks old.

Scroll down and look at hydroids. Does the first pic look right?

Another vote for hydroids. Leave them be and they will be gone before you know it.

Absolutely. That's it.
