Little critters

[Brandon7878]

So I have noticed this past month that my Corals haven't been growing. They have actually been loosing their life. I lost my nicely sized torch just a week ago. I thought I didn't have enough nutrients so I started putting an oaster liquid in but it's not helping. I just sat down now after work and was looking at my fish until I seen these little critters in my sand and on my Corals. I have never seen them before.

Some type of pod... shouldn't be a prob.

How old is the tank, do you test the parameters (alk cal mag and salinity), and how old is the tank. I don't see much coralline so it may be a new tank?

I agree it's some form of pod. I doubt that's your issue. It looks like your polyps are stretching pretty far, probably stretching for more light. Is your lighting sufficient?

Yeah. I had a big issue with my lighting at first. The tank is at least a year old.
