Please help identify biting white bugs
We have had a 90 gal saltwater reef tank for years but the last few months we’ve been dealing with small white little pests and dying fish. We think they may be some species of isopod. They come out when food goes into the tank and just take over. Any advice is much appreciated. Thank you

Needs a *much* better picture, but from the description and what looks a bit like a little evil black eye, I would say potentially cirolanid isopods.
Google, then burn them with fire. I had them a few years back and it took months to deal with. Dave |
