Please ID - Pods ?

Berlibee · Feb 16, 2016

Hello,

Could you please ID these guys. Running all over the rocks and I spotted them on my SPS this night. They don't swim, legs, antennas like little bugs with white stripes on the back.

Thank you.

those could look like acro eating flat worms....

Nah. They are a pod. I have them in my fuge. They are fine. I forget the name. Gimme a min.

Berlibee · Feb 16, 2016

Thank you, they're not worms yes. They have legs and they're fast.

Pretty sure its a type of munnid isopod. Herbivores. No worries.

Are you sure as the last pic looks like issues with the acro similar to flat worms before laying eggs.

Look at Lionfishlair website. She and Petepolyp had an Id thread and she added it to her site.
Body shape is sooo similar to a worm at first glance but it's actually a shell like a roly poly bug. but flat

Is it an acro those bugs are on? If so the acro doesnt look like its doing very good..

Eckolancer · Feb 16, 2016

Looking at @lionfishlair site these look differ than the isopod you mentioned

Wiz · Feb 16, 2016

Maybe the bottom row in this pic

Wiz · Feb 16, 2016

The first pic here look similar as well

Hey guys, thank you for the info. That acro have dead spots yes but doesn't looks like it's related to these bugs. They're all over the tank and all other sps are fine. These are not WORMS for sure. Just trying to understand if it can be an issue.

if the population gets out of hand yea maybe like all things ocean. but most things eat them too.
