Live Rock????
I have 20lbs of rock in my FOWLR tank. I have been curious lately. I have waited acouple of hours after light is off and went back with a flash light to see if I have got any critters living in my live rock. To my suprise I have seen little critters (all the same). They are almost clear in color, small black stripe down their back, and are only a couple of centimeters and smaller not worm like. They crawl back into the rock very fast so I don't have a chance to get a REAL good look. I have did some internet searching. I don't believe they are not a Mantis Shrimp. Don't mantis's have big black eyes? Could you help me in i.d. Thanks

Also why does my Yellow tank get a brown color on his side at night? After the light is back on his color all comes back.

1. Amphipods/Copepods.
2. A natural coloration change at night or when in a defensive mode. Nothing to worry about. Our Blue Hippo Tang turns very pale at night. |

Are the Amphipods/Copepodes something to worry about?

They're a good thing
If anything, fish food. They also eat the detritus on the bottom of your tank. |
