    so i get home from work and about 20 of these little guys are hanging out on my front glass...

    what in the world are they?? look like tiny stars, their little legs are flapping around in the current.

    sorry this is the best my poor camera can do.

    Well they are not harmful but you really dont want them they can sting your fish and corals. I have had them pretty bad a few times and they are a pain more then anything.
