    What did you order 4 months ago? Fish? Coral? They often come in on coral frags. Also, not sure if you started with live rock or not, but you'll still be finding "new" hitchikers for years if you did.

    IME there not harmful to the tank, good scavengers and eat algae. Many people say that they eat corals... I have not seen this true. I also think there is some kind of starfish out there that does eat corals and thats maybe why people think this of what you have.

    I have a ton of these in one of my reeftanks. Not sure where they came from. They are seriously all over the glass all the time.

    Glad to hear they aren't bad for the tank.
