My buddy has those all over his tank, they are more of a nuisance to him. He removes them and they keep multiplying.

Honestly, not sure what they eat, but I would think algea. They are a relatively common hitchhiker.

I have a couple of those in my tank also I just let him be, I am certain they munch the algae but not certain!

I have alot of them in my tank. They do eat alot of trash on the glass in my tank.

They have a tendency to mess with zoas but other then that they clean and multiply that's about it

 

[Saltwaterman]

Yep they sure multiply haha, found 3 more
