Are these aiptasia

[Jolio99]

Ok I already know what large aiptasia looks like (got 3 on my LR) But what do the smaller ones look like? Do they spread across the glass? I am asking because I have a bunch of "white dots" on my glass. Looking closer, these "dots" have about 5 arms and are about 1/32 of an inch. are these aiptasia? I havent recieved a real answer about these "dots" so any info is appreciated.

sounds like it could be Staurocladia oahuensis. They are a type of walking hydroid jellyfish like Mike said. I have these....

here's a link to Dr Ron's critter page...

A picture would help. These could be sea stars, like star fish but very small.

That link was very helpful. Yeah thats what I have. Its a relief that they are not aiptasia but are they good or bad for the aquaria? I couldnt find that out in the article.
Thanks

they will not harm anything
eventually they will go away
