I've been battling some dinos. Newest change was a new Sicce 1.5 and Coralife Turbo Twist 3x. Just noticed a dozen or so of these little guys on the glass.

Took the best pics I could with my Amazon special reef aquarium lenses.

Hopefully not another foe...

Hydroids. These hitchhikers tend to disappear as a tank matures.

Thanks! So non-threat? Great news! So I can just wipe them away with my scrubber and not worry?

Also, I fat fingered the title... Meant Tiny!
Every time I scraped my front glass because of algal buildup, these hydroids came back, but in progressively fewer numbers. I think scrubbing will be fine.
