Mini-brittle stars, etc?

Just because you have a "clean-up crew" doesn't mean your tank is necessarily going to be perfect. In reality, they do literally nothing compared to the work you put, yourself, into the tanks maintenance.
What are the levels? Feeding? Lighting? How often do you change the water?
Do you know the phosphate levels? A little more would help out, since it "seems" like you might have a case of higher phosphates, from what you've provided.

I'm so behind it's not even funny.
