So I’ve seen a recent explosion in a population of small (~1/4 to 3/8” diameter) limpets in my sump. There’s literally hundreds of them.

Now it’s a pile of rubble with water flow through, for pod habitat, so plenty of substrate thats also suitable for them, and they don’t seem to be harming anything…

But are these something whose numbers I should try to control? Or just leave them be?

I’ve seen a couple of tiny ones in the DT on the glass, but that’s about it in the DT.

/please excuse the red sump lighting
