New stuff HATCHED!

[ReefChum518]

Ok so two parts, one have a bunch of tiny tiny star fish all over the sides of my tank, safe to assume there good, but should the all make it what to do with them, two I also had something else hatch, very very small, move somewhat quickly......could they be copepods?


Have had some small flat worms that I have been siphoning out, I'm hoping it's not them

Pictures?

 

[ReefChum518]

I can try they are extremely! Small.
I had to use a small magnifying glass to get a look and couldn't then make the out, I can just tell there moving

Not a great pic but it's all the small white specks

They are most likely pods, not starfish.

 

[ReefChum518]

Well the pods part is great to hear for the pic I posted, I'll try and get the pic of what I think are the star fish, only reason I think that they are star fish is because of their shape, small dot w/ little legs

Good/bad?

Not good, but they normally burn out quickly in new setups. Seeing them is uncommon, but not unheard of.

LFS store have me two options,1 lower water level below area and let area dry and then scrape them
Off the wall or 2 completely empty tank and basically start over

You should never listen to them again. It'll pass, just like bad tacos.

 

[ReefChum518]

Lol! Thanks

It freaked me out! Spent a lot
Of time and money for this in-devour, to have to start back and redo everything


There's not many of them, less than 15-20 I would say!

So you think they will pass??????

Should. Keep an eye on it.

 

[ReefChum518]

Ok, will be away on vacation this coming week, I don't have anything in the tank other than a few snails and hermits, not sure what they feed on but I'm hoping the don't multiply while I'm away

Well then your tank is basically fallow...hermits and snails have almost 0 bioload. If you are going to be gone for a week with no real livestock in the tank, coming home and adding a fish may be too much for the bacteria left in the tank and cause an ammonia spike...

So what's your thoughts?

I think you are coming home to an uncycled tank.
