    GEERRRRRR! My idiot phone will not let me post a pic! There goes that. I have aliens in my tank. They look like a mix between a shrimp and a moth... Kinda.

    Most likely pods. Are they tiny and white? Pods are harmless and provide a live food source for many fish, corals, and inverts.

    A pic would definitely help with an ID. You need to post it on a photo-hosting site such as photobucket, then link it in a post with the Insert Image icon [​IMG].
