6 wks set-up has dozens of guppy or badmiton shaped life forms.

I just recently brought in some live stock and 3days later I see stuff swimming around worms, wht tick looking bugs that crawl on the rocks. should I be concerned?

Most likely, these are mysid shrimp. These are good to have. There are many small crustaceans and worms that will come in your live rock and multiply in your tank. You want them!

The fish seamed annoyed, there's twice as mush now or more hundreds. I'm going to try giving less light. (2-60 atin 175 MH)
I'll only run the MH for a few hours. I'll check my levels and get bk
Could this be ick? I perty sure the Heniochus Pleurotaenia has ick.
He hides all day and hates the cleaner fish that's new to the tank.
Should I seperate the fish?
