NanoNick0107 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 So I have a few new things popping up in my tank that I haven’t seen before and I also saw a clearing looking big crawling on the rocks that I haven’t ever seen before. Can anyone tell me what these things are? Quote Link to comment
Zer0 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 I see a lot of different stuff, which ones specifically can you not identify? In the second photo, if you’re talking about those little white things sticking out of the rock, they look like the arms of a brittle sea star. Quote Link to comment

The two “purple”egg looking things they are actually white but for some reason when I take a picture they are purple Quote Link to comment
Zer0 Posted March 15, 2021 Share Posted March 15, 2021 They could be little sponges. Quote Link to comment
Tired Posted March 16, 2021 Share Posted March 16, 2021 Seems reasonable. Depending on the size, they could be nerite snail eggs, though they're probably a bit big for that if that's a decent-sized nerite next to them. And those are definitely micro brittle star legs in that other picture. Those are great to have, helpful scavengers that will breed to a reasonable population and not eat anything you don't want eaten. Quote Link to comment

I will do some research on the micro brittle star. Thanks for your input. Quote Link to comment
