My sand is alive?

I don't mean there's things in the sand crawling around. The SAND itself is crawling around, climbing on the hermit crabs and the snails... what the heck?

Thanks :)

 

I don't think the current would make sand crawl up the side of my glass.

 

Maybe it's baby snails and they just match the sand? Or some kind of organism that attaches itself to sand and crawls around on snails and crabs?

 

About 2 weeks ago, I had tons of these little brown egg looking things, the size of sand, on one side of my live rock. They werent there for long. I figured that my crabs had eaten them...

ok son, sounds like you took a little orange sunshine. Get yourself a cold beer and put on a little alman brothers. I suggest eat a peach.

 

Relax and enjoy the ride
