not sure what these are.

I think I know what they are but, I want to be sure. I hope I am wrong. All over the Glass I have these small (1 mm) white things. They have a white body with little arms sticking out. Not sure about how many arms. I have some brittle worms in my live rock, but I don't know if they are little stars. There are hundreds of them. Please help and tell me what they are if possible witht the info I provided. I will tell what I am afraid they are later.

Broomer5, that is actually what they look like so that must be what they are. Thanks for the link. I was afraid they were little Astapia Aneomome. Thanks. One more thing from the way the link read they won't hurt anything and will disappear, is that correct.

I have plenty of pods in my tank but they never stick to the glass. They are in the sandbed and the live rock so I am wondering if these are really copepods. Aptasia or glass anemones are anywhere from clear to brown creatures with fingerlike portrusions. They are somewhat similar to a xenia. Take a closer look, normally pods won't stick to the glass. And if they are pods your tank is doing quite well.
