Default What is it????
I have a 30g anemone tank with one very large hermit, 1 large turbo snail and two maroon clownfish.

This morning as I was feeding my fish, I see lots of white dots on the glass. It looks white with a few legs. It is so small that I couldn't take a photo.

Any idea what is it????

Did they look like tiny white starfish? Asterinas possibly?
