what are these? :)~
Are these some sort of pods?
Are they good or bad? Is there a fish that'll eat them? Thanks in advance. |

Pods....good....most carnivorous and omnivorous fish will eat them.

Sweet. That was going to be my next question in this forum! I've got TONS of these little suckers all over. Was getting kind of worried. Now, I just need to get something to eat them!

I think those are isopods. Just about any fish should pick at them. What's in the tank?

if you get a wrasse they will eat them and most anytype of pods and flatworms most of the time and it depends on the type of wrasse... but i know you normally cant go wrong with a sixline wrasse they are pretty agressive but with your fish it would be fine.

I'm surprised the tangs or clown won't go after them. They're on the glass during the day?

that is a munnid isopod to be specific. they are harmless algae grazers.

They might go away on their own. I'm always hesitant to add an animal to get rid of a problem like this, since that's one less fish I can add, but it might be needed in this case.

Mandarin is not a good addition if he doesn't have a fuge set up.

Great pod pic BTW! Caution to adding a fish just for managing your pod population. A mandarin would do this but when your pod population cleared then what? Consider a fish that you like that eats pods as well as frozen and/or flake if you decide to add one. Many wrasses (among others) are reef safe and like pods. Sixlines can be territorial and aggressive but there are many to choose from. I love my pygmy possum wrasse!

Yea..I wouldn't put a mandarin in...6 Lines are awesome fish..Much more active and visible in the tank and just as cheap.
