???

I just noticed in one of my tanks these critters. They're super small, white, and at first I thought they were air bubbles but they starting moving in the opposite direction of the current. I only notice them on the glass. A pic would be almost impossible bc of their size. Any help??

If they look like worms and move with a spastic zig zag pattern, dont worry they are harmless and will go away over time if you keep your tabk cleaner and reduce feeding

I would say they're more roundish then wormish. They're Really small. Almost microscopic

Could be related to your previous post about your fish scratching himself on rocks. Sounds like sea lice to me.

I'll google that. Thank you I hope I get this taken care of. I know if it's in one tank it's in the other. I use the same buckets, siphon, scraper

Thanks dude.

We'll I just googled sea lice. The smaller free swimming ones look similar. But I've never noticed anything bigger than the super tiny ones. Ecspecially on my fish.

Could be baby snails.

They are most likely copepods or amphipods, they come in on live rock, and are beneficial to the system. Not only do they eat detritus and algae within the rock, they serve as food for a lot of the smaller animals that are harder to get to eat frozen or prepared such as the dragonets.
