Look up "hydroids".

No doesn't look anything like those. It's looks like a very tiny starfish with skinny very narrow limbs.

Sounds like a specific type of hydroid to me… the name escapes me…

Edit: Staurocladia oahuensis

Dang it is these. Hydroids, found it on the hitchhiker thread. What will eat them?

Yeah it's those. Why are they bad?

They come and go… I would not be overly concerned.

Hydroid surges like that tend to go away on their own. Scraping them off manually might help. I'm not aware of any suitable critters that would be available to purchase, would eat the hydroids, and would eat something else after finishing the hydroids off.

Some species of hydroid can stick around, spread, and sting corals. The type that temporarily show up on the glass, then fade out, tend not to be a problem. I wouldn't worry about it.
