Please help me determine what these things are?

These are on my glass the one I called "worm" I thought was a "Copeopod" (correct?)it crawls on the glass like a worm, it is very small 16th of an inch at the most. As for the other pic I have no idea what the one I called star is..it is even smaller...these pics are very zoomed.

As always Thank you for your help!

The second pic looks like a hydroid. I don't think they are a real big deal unless the get out of hand, then they can cause some probs.

I agree with fliynhi on the second pic hydromedusae (Staurocladia oahuensis). The first pic is to blurry

lil bitty tiny jelly fish that will go away on their own after a while.

The top is not really blurry it actually looks like that. No there is some algae on the glass from cycle. Could it be copeopod?

Does it have a shell? If not, it could be a flat worm of sorts.

I"m thinking a flatworm. If ya notice on the far right end of it the "worm" seems to kinda fork like flatworms do. Just my 2 cents though.
