    I seem to have myself an borderline infestation. They are too small to get a picture with my camera but easily seen with the eye. Solid white in color, looks like 10 legs and 2 antennae. At first I thought they were the offspring of one of my cuc but nothing with legs has a large enough number to procreate.

    My fish used to love them before they caught ich. They seem to accumulate in areas with green film algae but don't make a dent. Without fish there has been a population explosion they are on the rocks and every pane of glass on the tank. They don't seem to be harmful, just wondered what they were.

    If I knew how to capture them. I'm certainly in no shortage.
