TheGr8Blade Posted February 12, 2006 Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I was visiting a LFS yesterday and was admiring all the different corals they had for sale. I noticed these small white bugs all over the glass and whatnot. They looked like mites of some type. The crab mixed in the tank was having quite a feast with them. Should I be leary of these? Can they be killed? What are they? Please help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheGr8Blade Posted February 12, 2006 Author Report Share Posted February 12, 2006 I think I have found them. They look like this http://www.melevsreef.com/pics/0305/copepods.jpg Copepods? Would have to go back and verify this but look like this anyways. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Medicdude Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 They would be copepods. Good to have especially if you have mandarin gobies and others that like live food. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlkWolfe Posted February 19, 2006 Report Share Posted February 19, 2006 Good bugs Edit, Were they moving around the glass Blade? Almost look like little tunicates as well. Either way, no worries Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
