as i said in my other post about the wierd fishing line like things in my tank....i have been looking at my tank with the lights of with a flash light and seeing many strange critters.there these milipeed like things everywere all over my rockwork. their aint sized and move veryfast and just like a milipeed. most of the are a clear color with a faded orange color stipe down there back. i have heard that some critters will kill your corals, i have no corals atm but im going to get some very soon!:):bigsmile::)

sory i dont have any pics, i tried but you couldnt even see the little guys.

any ideas?thanks

My guess would be copepods or amphipods, both of which you want in your tank. Many fish feed on them. Check this out. http://melevsreef.com/id/pods.html
