critter on my glass

[Blondek727]

ok im pritty new to the saltwater world but have kept freshies for sometime anyways there are very very tiny little critters crawling around on the glass i tried to take a pic but there just to small anyone have a clue

 

[roka64]

Hmmmm, with no pics, maybe pods....? What do they look like?

 

[Blondek727]

There white like almost clear they look like they may be some kind of insect

 

[MichaelsLilGray]

probably copepods.. where did you get your live rock from? how big is it? and what kind?

 

[Kurt_Nelson]

If they look kinda like a cross between fleas and shrimp, then they're probably ampipods. If they're literally just little white specks, then they're probably copepods. Both are good things to have and are pretty numerous in new tanks with few fish.

 

[Blondek727]

If looked up copepods and I'm prittty sure that's them but if also just noticed a tiny worm that swims around like a mosquito larva would any ideas on that one?

 

[MichaelsLilGray]

[Blondek727]
