I have a 16G Bio that has these little creatures on the glass suddenly. There is nothing in the tank but a pair of breeding B&W shotgun clowns, sand and snails.

Thanks

Copepodes, clowns should be munching on them as they please. Harmless critters

Actually isopods.

Could very well be. I wonder if clowns eat those. I know wrasse love isopods.

I think especially for new reefers, pods have to be on top of the list of unknown crawlers

We have seen the clowns eating them so I would say they do. We have trouble keeping a CUC because the pair is so aggressive and territorial!

Yeah I always like to check here as they look different than what I have seen in my 120. Wasn’t as worried since the clowns are picking them off.

Yup, sounds like clowns.

Good part of their diet!
