What's on my glass? Looks like snowflakes!

I think it's snowing in my tank. I woke up today and there are about 50 of these snowflake looking things all over the glass. They are really small, like only 1mm across. What are they?

hydroid jellyfish.

They won't do that much unless you are raising baby fish or seahorses.

They are in my seahorse tank.

I'm waiting for my seahorses to come in. Should be sometime next week.

What do I need to know?

I don't think they pose a problem to full grown seahorses but I could be wrong. I've never kept them so don't have any experience with that. I'd post in the seahorse forum here. They'll be able to help you out I'm sure.
