Is this a SPS tank? If so you are going to have to dip them with Tropic Marin Pro Coral Cure. I've never had them but they say they are a pain to get rid of.

It's more like a mix reef but mostly sps and what causes them to come?

I don't think it really matters about the mixed tank. I think they are mainly after sps. You got them some how. Maybe not dipping everything? Wished I could be more help. Try doing a search and see what others have done.

Are you sure they are spiders and not small brittle stars?

If they are on the glass, and have the frilly leg-looking things around the dot, then they are the beginnings of spiroboid worms, they are harmless and will come off when you magnet.
