live rock hitchers (1 Viewer)

[crvz]

Well i just read Brian's article today, and oddly enough found a few hitch-hikers on some live rock i have curing in a separate tank. It's about 90 lbs of live rock, and i just did a huge water change and swished the rock in some buckets to clear off any debris. When i was done, i found a number of these guys floating in the buckets. Any ideas what they are about?

Make sure you read the article before telling me to nuke the little dudes. I've already got it separated, so I can wait and see what happens.

I've never seen those before, happy to see my article has been read by at least one person

I can't help you on those, I would suggest posting those pictures on Dr Shimek's forum.

Well the good Dr. tells me they are bug larvae. Haha! The tanks in the garage, so it's not too big of a surprise. So much for that mystery.
