I seen for the first time today(did a clean glass and water chang yesterday) on the front of my tank a dozen or so micro-things on my glass!
The center is approx.. the size of a micro bubble from a skimmer and look like this! And are stuck to the glass!! clear to white in color and the "tenticals are quite short and almost clear!!! THEY look like this!!!!

baby brittle star?
detritus?
 
I get them on mine too, hundreds of them. My Lfs has told me what they are but i forget, harmless though.
 
could be glass worms, or even glass anemones. scrap off with razor and something similar and syphon out of tank right away.
 
I would take it out and maybe put it in a glass so its out of the display, but you can still look at it and take it to LFS so they can ID it.
 
Well if the tents are moving its probably definitely a polyp of some sort. Probably a glass nem by the look of the picture. See if you can get a magnifying glass to enlarge its size and take a picture. The picture you have now isn't that great and looks like its actually drawn instead of a picture. If you cut it off chances are you will just make more. Inject some lemon juice into its stalk or buy the store bought stuff for aiptasia and glass anemones.
