LampDr. Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Hello, I have little clear shrimp like critters all over my live rock.. They are all over the place... I did my weekly water change on sunday. I am running carbon and filter media instead of sponge.... I did add about 15 snails and red leg crabs for clean up... and a star and extra fish....

Meercat_Maric Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Sounds like you have a healthy population of pods there. Nothing to be worried about - they are detrivores and are benneficial to the removal of excess wastes in your tank. Link to comment

vyger Posted November 24, 2004 Share Posted November 24, 2004 Sounds as if your tank is doing good.. I moved some of the rock in my tank the other day and they were crawling all over my hand...they are something to watch...they scatter for any place they can find to hide when the lights come on....
