cainechow Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 I was looking at my single coral aquarium tonight and noticed that there are tiny, sub-millimeter, white dots crawling on the glass. Are these maybe copepods? The only way I can see that they made it into my tank is by hitch-hiking a ride on the frogspawn frag. Other than the one frag, there is nothing in the aquarium that has been in another aquarium. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Znaika Posted January 31, 2013 Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Since they are crawling on the glass, use a 10X magnifying lens to have a better look. By the sound of it, it maybe small worms or snails. Copepods have an outer shell, antennas and usually swim, not crawl. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cainechow Posted January 31, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 31, 2013 Yeah that is what I thought at first too except my one lens is out for repairs. It throws the dreaded canon error 99. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
