GMay Posted February 7, 2016 Share Posted February 7, 2016 Saw lots of these on the walls of my tank just now. Had removed the fish a week or ten days ago and think I had a population explosion. Any help with ID from you invertebrate experts would be appreciated. Pictures taken with iPhone 6 through an ocular lens from a microscope. Happy Reefing! Link to comment
FlowerMama Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Doesn't look like amphipods. These are amphipods. https://www.google.com/webhp?sourceid=chrome-instant&ion=1&espv=2&ie=UTF-8#q=amphipods Link to comment
Parapodia Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 Possibly 'munnid' isopods. http://reefkeeping.com/issues/2004-08/rs/index.php Link to comment
REEFerMAdNESS88 Posted February 8, 2016 Share Posted February 8, 2016 some manner of pods isopod sounds right Link to comment
GMay Posted February 8, 2016 Author Share Posted February 8, 2016 Thanks all. I generally agree that they look like isopods, munnid does look the closest. Link to comment
holy carp Posted February 9, 2016 Share Posted February 9, 2016 I definitely agree with munnid isopods. They are great. Prolific and a bigger snack than copepods. My clowns eat these guys but won't touch the amphipods. Link to comment
