Hello All
I am new to the forum so forgive my learning curve. I have 2 saltwater tanks (75 gal reef/fish and a 10 gal QT) I just lost a fish in my QT and looking at the dead fish I noticed very small (almost can't see them) critters crawling on it. I’ve done some research and I can’t find anything on what it could be. I also see them in the protein skimmer from time to time. My first thought is copepods but the tank has been dosed with copper and it’s my understanding that pods can’t survive copper. Currently in the tank is 2 small clowns and 1 small 6 line wrasse. I have 2 fake plants and the bottom is covered in media rocks. All levels are within normal ranges and the tank looks clear and healthy. Any ideas what the bug like things are that I’m seeing?
Thanks in advance!
