I notice very tiny creature on the glass that look like small snowflakes. They are white and have tentacles that radiate thru the center. They don't seem to move. They are about the size of a small isopod. What are these creatures? I have several turbo snails in the tank. I watched as a turbo snail traveled over the creature. The snail did not like it at all. It contured it's body to make sure that it did not touch the creature.

We have just noticed an aiptasis growing on a piece of live rock. Could this be larval aiptasis? Small starfish? Jellyfish?

Mine looked like little starfish or snails but must have fallen prey to something because they never came to anything.

What I get now are tiny red/orange squid like things less then a cm long. They too just seem to vanish.

They sound like hydroids which can smother everything. Try and get rid of them.
