Are those the bugs they call coed bugs, yeah they move around the rock and sneak in and out of little holes.
I wonder what they are doing because they look very busy looking around for more friends. | |

Well I dont think they are bad cause they seem to talk to eachother all the time.
It's almost like watching them want to fight and then walk away from eachother and go onto the next one and stuff.
They are the small shrimps in the tank, because the big one will eat them. | |

yes most likely copepods, very good, my fish munch on them when they can. Larger ones are Amphipods, spelling prolly isnt right on that one. They look almost like, well to me, an opaque cricket. I fing alot in my filter media when doing my housekeeping on the tank. So, yes, they are both very good | |

copepods, amphipods, isopods and various other little critters. Hard to tell with a pic. _________ [center]Renaming Our Corals "Believe those who are seeking the truth; doubt those who find it." Andre Gide | |
