Just seeded an above display refugium and i noticed a very large critter. After doing a bit of research i figured that it is an isopod but I am having problems determining if it is a bad one or not. Anyone know?

I have a 14g biocube nano tank that's been set up for about 3 months now. Tank mates are couple of corals, a cleaner shrimp, emerald crab, turbo snails and two newer juvenile clownfish. I've noticed these little guys in the past, but not in such large numbers. I'm not exactly sure what they...

So I seems to have Isopoda (thanks guys on here) anyway I hadn't seen it for a while and this morning I get up and there is a large one on my clownfish I went to grab some stuff to do a freshwater dip and by the time I got back (5mins tops) it had dropped off- do they only cling to the fish at...

I found a piece of dead coral in the gulf so we took it home to dry it out. Probably end up around a flower bed or something. But my GF noticed a bug crawling on it. In a moment of pure stupidity, I said, "Oh, that's a copepod or an amphipod, they're good and tossed it in my tank. I watched...

Lately I've been noticing a lot of tiny clear bugs (almost ant looking) crawling around my rocks. I know I have some amphipods in there as I found a big one running around in the sand. But these don't look like they have a round back area. They look like ants. I checked out this site but I'm...
