A few things on glass

[KelliZackMOM]

I got a few weird things growing like crazy this past week on my glass. First, is tiny white hair looking things. Second, white dots that kind of look to be a spiral circle. Third, one tiny white star. I tried getting pics, but the hairs and dots are too tiny and the star was gone before I got a chance to take pic. I know you guys need good pics to give me a definite ID, but maybe some suggestions of stuff to google then I can compare what I have.

Dunno about the first.
Second could be a Spiroid Worm (not sure on spelling)
Third asterina starfish.

Those are all guesses, just google it to see if they look like em

Spiroid worms and asterina star it is. Now, if I can get a hit on the white hair things.

No clue on the hair, but Waddi has got you covered on the other two.

 

[bjohanson1234]

possibly a q-tip sponge aka pineapple sponge?

Or hydroid jellies.

 

[Mandarin66]

Dont let the asterina population get out of control. When they get large and run out of stuff to graze on, look out, softies can end up on the menu. It happened to me.

+1. Mine were fine for years. But then I think they ran out of algae to eat and started snacking on zoas and leathers.
