white creatures on my glass

[badkjb2]

they are all over my aquarium glass, and are about the size of a pinhead. they dont move. please help. what are they?

 

[galina]

Can you give some more details? If they're on the glass, take a magnifying glass up to them.

 

[badkjb2]

i dont have a magnifying glass, but from what i could see, it looks like they have about 10 legs, and they are all different sizes. i was told they could be copepods, but i read those swim. thanks for any help

They are most likely copepods. How big do they get?

 

[badkjb2]

the biggest is maybe just over a pinhead, but there are many smaller then that. i guess they will grow. so it doesnt sound anything worth being to concerned about?

They are baby star fish. You have l/s and l/r right? You should or will be seeing many more critters.

i have live rock. will fish eat the baby star fish?

 

[rmd8110]

most likely the fish will eat the baby starfish....i have a bunch of them also. i may wait as long as possible before putting any fish that might get them til they get a little bigger.

I don't think it's anything to be concerned about.
