yeast in secondary

[GregJ]

N00b question:
This is my first time using a secondary fermentor (this is my seventh batch so far) and I noticed there is a little bit of sediment at the bottom of the carboy.

Is this ok? I thought the idea of racking was to get it off the yeast.
Is it possible I aerated too much during racking?
thanks

It's fine. It's just more yeast flocculating. It all doesn't happen in the primary.

Welcome to HBT!
A secondary should rightly be called a bright tank and it's used for clearing up your beer of the last little bit of yeast that needs to flocculate. If you leave your beer in the primary long enough it will happen there too.
