Question on critters/hitchhikers..

[Mattj815]

Hi,

So i am going to be transferring the few things I have from my old tank to my new one. One fish and a handful of corals and its stressing me a bit. I want to bring them over and obviously not introduce anything bad. In my old tank I have a few small aptasia and some gha on a few things. My plans was to just inspect and remove eveything as best I can for the corals and move them.

Also since this time around I went with dry rock there are no little critters ( worms, stomatellas etc) do you think it would be a good/ok idea to try and add them from my old tank if possible. I was thinking if I dip some of the smaller rocks I can get some to come out and grab them.

Im only planning on putting two small rocks that have some mushrooms in my new tank and they are flat non porous rock tbat probably wont have anything in or on them.

Any thoughts?

I would try to grab as much of the micro fauna from the old tank as you can and then buy some more to restock the new tank.

Buy more? Like what? Aside from pods Ive never really heard of stuff like that for sale.

Pods are all u should have to purchase u can easily grab the micro stars feather dusters stomatella and bigger stuff like that from the old tank.
