I have a bunch of these in my frag tank. I have some aptasia and assumed they were baby nems so I got a file fish. It is eating the large ones but not these tiny guys. Then I realized they stayed small. I took a closer look with a lens (my eyes aren't great) and they appear to be a small tube worm. The largest one is less than 1/4" extended. Thought I would double check with the experts before scraping them off the glass.

Tiny filter feeders, keep 'em, scrape 'em. Harmless
 
Yeah I have some feather dusters similar to that kind, they grow on everything glass, rock, sand, shells...everything.
