    This is on my glass right now. Is it a mini brittle star? It's maybe 2 or 3 millimeters in diameter.

    It's also right below a scratch in my glass.:-[

    It is a dry heat, yeah right !
    Looks more like a hydrod of sorts to me or a jelly fish larva, but not a micro brittle. Check out the link, I think you will agree.

    Yep its a Hydroid. The white ones like that one are really not not an issue but the brown one in the pictures on that site can be a real pita to get rid of.
