I have life forms in the bottom tank but no idea what they all are other than copapods and I think sponges. Nothing that looks the same though. Don't really see anything diff in the sump base either.

Ok, I take it back... I turned the light white and zoomed in as close as I could... sadly guessing these are the more you spoke of... other than shrimp in display and base - what can I do? These are on the glass so I can't do something out of the tank like with the frags. The only guy intentionally down there right now is a hermit and copapods.

Thank you for suggesting to check, I've never zoomed in that much.

These pics show hydroids. You can take the edge of an old credit card and scrape into a net and discard with Hot water

Oh thank you. Sad to find another unwanted pest but part of the process I'm sure. Guess it's time to scrape the glass - I was hoping it was all good life down there.

Aiptasia as a Pest - and HOW to get rid of it

I think that's one of the most popular and common pest in our reef system, and I don't saw any in the hobby to say "I never - ever got Aiptasia in my reef system" I want everyone of you who got problem with or just found his best solution to share it here. Like the TITLE say, can we collect many...
