    Where'd everyone go? LOL

    I have about 6 very small ones now that I can count. Im sure there are a couple hiding.
    I have two of the large rocks that had tons of them (one over 30) soaking in a buckets of bleach water.
    Even if I have 10 small ones total that better then 65+

    probably not really, I assume they are photosynthetic to a extent but get alot of energy from actual food and dissolved organic compounds.

    Thanks everyone. Hopefully once I get a shrimp in there I should be clear of these things.
    Maybe a butterfly fish too.
