scottyreef Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 they look like nitrite snail eggs Link to comment
seanyb Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 hmm looks like pods and bristle worms. If the white things have like a rounded curled body there amphipods and if there just small roundish copodes. Check the stickys http://www.nano-reef.com/invertebrates/ that should help Link to comment
beachsidejuj Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 so I guess I have bristle worms...should I leave them alone or try to get them out while they are little? The spots on the glass...snail eggs? Will I have a whole bunch of babies? Link to comment
Bamboozle Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 I've never had bristleworms cause problems for me. They dig in the sand and I imagine eat any goodies they find in there. Also, they seem to be more nocturnal and come play during the night. A lot of people remove them cause they think they're ugly. I like them. Up to you IMO Link to comment
beachsidejuj Posted February 13, 2009 Author Share Posted February 13, 2009 Ok then I will leave them alone....they are kind of creepy but what the hell....thanks for all the input!!!! Link to comment
Withers Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 They're the most efficient part of your cleanup crew. Link to comment
Paleoreef103 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 But I wouldn't recommend touching them.... Ever. They sting as I felt firsthand today. Link to comment
Aquatic Therapy Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 But I wouldn't recommend touching them.... Ever. They sting as I felt firsthand today. I think these are snail eegs since I had a ton to those and some in my pico which the rock came from the fuge in my 150 and I have noticed lots of very small snails in both. Link to comment
