What are these bugs?

[ReefHog]

Is there a place to identify the various bugs in our aquariums? I have identified several but there are two I have not been able to.

In addition to the typical coepods, potato bugs, small shrimps, etc are the following:

The bulk of my bugs are about 1/2 inch and smaller. They look like tiny tadpoles with legs and cruse all over the rock and sand franticly. You can see their big eyes also.....at least I think they are eyes.

Second is a translucent white skinny worm. About as thick as a toothpick and two inches long. It squiggles around the tank at night usually verticaly. I have only seen a few of these.

Thanks for any help identifing these.

Hi Art,

Sorry, but from those descriptions, I simply can't get there from here.

If you can post some images of them or, alternatively, collect some and mail them to me, I will be glad to put a name on 'em for you.

Ron,

Thanks for the reply. I really should get the fish hooks out of my pocket and buy a digital camera. Or at least a scanner. The pics on my website are 10 months old. I'll see what I can do.
