White bugs

[Courtney Lovell]

These showed up after my tank finally settled in. Nothing new in tank. All has been the same for a few months now
I just want to make sure they arnt causing a problem or if there is a critter that will eat them. I do have a blue damsel so another fish is out. There are tiny shrimp like critters in the sand and on the live rock to
I couldnt get the video to upload.

Thanks

Looks like little copepods to me. Do they scurry around? If they look like tiny shrimp, they're copepods for sure.

Edit: They're good for the tank.

Sounds like copepods. They are a good sign and an additional food source for your critters.

Thanks, yes the scurry all over the place. There is just about a million of them. I have small snails and 1 jumbo snail. 2 hermit crabs and the damsel. Apparently none of then eat the bugs.

Most wrasses will devour them if you want to reduce their numbers.
