I have five of these little critters on the glass of my tank. They are about the size of a pin head. I took the picture through an eye piece of my binoculars inverted to creat a magnifying glass. The picture is not very good but it give you a general idea of what these thing look like. They have feather like things sticking out from the end. Are they baby feater dusters? I dont have any feather dusters or any thing like it. They musthave hitchhiked in with the live rock. Any thoughts?

Looks like a Feather Duster Worm called a Spirorbid. Perfectly harmless filter feeders. It's pretty hard to give a firm ID on it with that picture though.

Once again, welcome to RC!
