pic 1-I have the same little sprouts in my nem tank. Even when I clean it theyre still there. 8+ months and no issues.
pic 2-probably some sort of worm...most likely beneficial but if you dont like it, you can just pick them off and toss them in the trash.

sand worms. good stuff. they clean the sand bed. Somebody really should sell these more often.
Id like to see a cleared pic of the first ones.
ya learn something new every day
PS if you can ID that first pic, Ill be interested to know what they are. I just figured it was some sort of algae lol theres no sifters in the tank of mine that has it.
yea Ive kinda always been about the bugs. The first ones are probably a bug too and the sand as been blown off.ya learn something new every day

Im my first 30(3.5 years) at feeding time 10,000 little arms would come out of the sand and clean it. (dsb)
Like a dummy I listened to a lot of folks and saved very little of the bed and just seeded. In hindsight I should have just dumped it in and covered it in the new 3+ inches an 40+ lbs I added..
The new mandy eats worms.

not any more!!
I was thinking I was doing something wrong or nuked my tank(hand soap, bleach, bayer, cooties???) cuz I couyldnt get more worms, and had had a pretty good selection going in the new tank.
I was sitting on the couch next to the tank and a big puff of dust kicked up and the mandy had pulled out a big spaghetti worm. It tossed and shredded it like an orca with a seal and devoured it
So much for the whole, mandy's eat only copepods thing.
Gonna need a bigger house.hahahahaha love the orca analogy
You should set up a tank with just a DSB and grow them yourself!
the only bad thing is, I have 2 dt's on qt. If I had a bigger house I do have a friend or two that have 500 gallon tanks in their trucks. So.......
I could be in big trouble. Did mention I like sharks and and know a guy who will let me have his nautilus?
