I recently (2 months ago) set up my first marine tank and just got back from some field work. I noticed a little crawly on my glass along with some new algae since I haven't been here to maintain the tank. All water conditions good...

Ammonia 0
Nitrite 0
Nitrate <.5
Ph 7.8-8
Calcium ~400 mg/L

I have two ocellaris clowns, an anemone, toadstool, hammer and candy cane corals. I use a mixture of rodi and Pacific saltwater.

Your going to start seeing copepods, amphipods, planaria, hydroids, all little critters that will start appearing in a new tank. Most are beneficial. they will come and go as your tank matures. But I can't really tell what you have currently without a better picture.
 
Well I just got home from work and cant seem to find it. If I see it again I'll post a picture!
