Have you seen these before?


Hello fellow tankers :-)
This is a growth on a live rock, pretty cool looking ... like antlers, brown. If you look closely you will see teeny tiny translucent worm like critters. They are very fast and in perpetual motion. I can't see them anywhere else except in the 3 places this antler-like thing is growing. It is like watching an ant farm, they are that fast and that busy.

It is amazing how much there is to see when you look closely! One of my hermits went to the point where the antlers are and was semi-swarmed with the tiny worms. It didn't seem to bother Hermie, and I think he ate some of the worms before going on his way

I had those before when I first got my rock. They looked like little tiny aphids. I found a bunch in the sponge in my filter. They vanished and have not been seen since.
