    hey all, I have these little guys all over the glass and I'm sure all over the rocks but it's hard to tell because of their small size. from tentacle to tentacle it's about 1.5 millimeters, the center is a little less than 1ml

    does anyboby know what these are?

    to the naked eye they are white specs with little hairs, under the microscope they look clear. The tenticals do move and they do look soft
