    Well a few days ago while my tank was still going through changes i saw some weird little white dots on the tank walls. they were also like ont he water surface and swimming around or something and they were crawling around my zoas, really tiny white little dots. my brother broke my dads camera (theres a shock, besides my tank leaking i have the worst of luck) so no pics, but anyone ever had something like that before?

    They sound like copepods, free fish food and part of the clean up crew.

    They haven't totally disappeared. There are a lot in the sand and nooks and crannies of your rock.
