    i noticed something moving in the flow on the bottom of my brain. so i took a pic so i could zoom in and take a close look and looks like a bug, its hard to see but in the pic you will see a black and white cerith shell down in on the very bottom and if you zoom in it looks like theres a brown bug with legs

    edit: also theres something to the right of it, like a white sack of some kind

    Wow, that is something. I still consider myself novice, but Ive come across a few forums containing "infestations" with things both good (pods) to sand mites, etc

    its not a bug? really? sure looks like one. first thought came to mind is zoa eating nudibranch, but wasnt sure as its not a zoa. I'm hoping its just a feather duster/tube worm because i dont want any bad things in my tank
