    I see these little brown husks or shells floating in the water.. maybe a piece every day or every other day. They look very much like rice (albeit very dark brown) and I can tell that whatever was inside is no longer there as it is mostly transparent. Any ideas what it is?

    How old is your tank or have you added any rock recently?
