"Bugs" on softies
Anyone have any idea of what these are? Have small legs and fairly long antennaes, not worms as they appear in photo. Also can move fairly quickly.
New-ish tank, so no fish in the tank to keep them in check. I think my spingerri damsel in QT would make short work of them. Can't tell if they are pestering coral or just eating the sheds...any ideas? |

Tough to tell from that pic, but it sounds like they are a variety of copepod maybe?
Any more pictures? |

Agreed. Based on your description it sounds like copepods

they're small so it's hard to get a good pic. I'll try again to get a better photo.
They are long and slender unlike most copepods I've seen. Look like a worm at first glance but then I noticed have legs & antennas and they don't move like a worm. |
