    Well, newsflash all. I wanted to see if the chaeto was dying/softening so I picked it up and I shook it real well. It felt firm and I noticed the whitening had gone away; and the algae seemed again shiny and wiry. A minute later on the glass of the chaeto section of the 'fuge with a flashlight; I saw one. Then another! Yup, I can see now they are plenty visible alright! They scuffle about as though they're in a rush to get somewhere. Walking around like cockroaches on land!

    Hmm. I'll try to love them and remember they can't make it to my pantry alive. LOL

    OK, this is good.
