Are they flat against the glass. Or out like an anemone.
 
Hopefully asterina.... possibly hydra?
 
I've got them too. They are on the glass in the water flow of the circulation pump

They have a white circular body (though one looked pink today) that is 2mm across. They have a number of fine protrusions that they do not seem to gave any control over that move in the current (very similar to a tube worm protrusion)
 
how old is your tank?
if new its ok. i had same thing happening in my tank for first 3 months not after that.
just clean the glass..
