hoveboy has fishy dreams
I am seeing stars!!

Just spotted a small group of very tiny (1mm) creatures on my front glass. They have a white central body like grain of salt and about 8 or 9 'legs' around this. They aren't moving around at all that I can see.
FYI I did have a small white star hitchhike on my LR when I bought it about 3 months ago but he only had five legs and I haven't seen him since the day I got the LR.
Any ideas?
PS. Too small for a decent pic, sorry.

From what I understand, these little critters are a good sign that all is healthy in ur tank, so I wouldn't worry.
