I do not know if these are the same thing but the one that is bunched up is about the size of a nickel and they are spread throughout the sump walls and baffles.

I also have a ton of copepods

Here are some other pictures of my tank recently.

I was going to take the the starfish of my green star polyp but a very trustworthy pet store in lansing told me it was reef safe so I left it there and when it got off the coral opened back up and was fine.
My green star polyp is also spreading fast.

    I've developed those white sponges too. I wonder if they are just a low light version of the typical yellow sponge our tanks get.

    The squiggly things look like beginning spirobid(sp?) or tube type worms.

    I have those in my sump too, in the pumps, in the skimmer, etc... When I did the yearly cleanup of my return pumps I found a lot of those inside the pump impeller, which is quite impressive if you think they rotate fairly quick....

    I dont know what kind of starfish that is all I know is that the store I got it from in lansing called it a "reef-safe" starfish. If you find the name of it please tell me. I will try to get a full tank shot as soon as I clean the very tough algae of my glass.
