Trying to identify two new sump creatures
While working on my sump the other day I found two new lifeforms that have apparently sprout up, the first in my skimmer chamber / on my return nozzle and the other in my refugium and return chamber. The first looks like some type of crustacean and the other, well, I have no idea. I have attached two photos of each.
