dmanshep,

I say that are not only good, but fantastic!  Some of your fish will eat them, and it is best to not let them get out of control.... but they are great.  More than anything, they signify your tank is doing well.  Another member of our club has had them out recently.  When did you take this picture? Is your tank located by a window?  Just a theory I have.

Adam
Come to a meeting, they’re fun!

Amazing, how long have they been in there?  How many of them are in there?

Noone knows how long they have been around, perhaps from the dawn of time!

My guess is that they were intoduced at least a year ago because that is the last time Rick Bangerter added anything to his tank before he left for Brazil. These seem to be detritivores since there seem to be no missing coral.

As for your last question, there could be many. My guess is that there are hundreds or thousands of babies.

Frankly, I wish there were more people interested in discussing these ugly things. If there were some interest, I thought I would bring them to the meeting tomorrow but alas...
