Hi all,
Tanks are seemingly doing great. I've got a question about something I'm seeing in my 29 gal. These are on the glass and tiny. They aren't amphipods or copipids...and also aren't mysid shrimp. I've learned what all those look like and do seem plenty of them. These new critters actually look like TINY starfish. They seem to be about 1/8" in diameter and have 5 legs, in a star pattern. I do have lots of small bristlestars in the tank so that might actually be what they are. I will try and get some pics soon but they're so tiny, I don't know if I'll be able to. They're all over the glass...tons of them!! Also getting several sponges growing in both tanks. They look like a Q-Tip that's been removed from the shaft. They seem to have a funnel shaped hole in them. Most of them are an off-white color but I'm seeing some that appear in different colors. I'm hoping that both of these items are good for the tank and not something I need to be worried about. lol.
