    Anybody know what likes to munch on these things? I currently have an abundant supply of them in my refugium. Don't know anything about them(name, good or bad). All I know is they are white and the biggest ones are about the size of a nickel. :confused:

    That is where they like to hang out the most. I was just thinking if something liked to feed on them it would be an excuse for adding another creature;D

    +1 cool little critters - they are scavengers, feeding mostly at night and hiding in crevices. They are great at getting the nooks of detritus that get in the hard to access areas of the rock.

    Thanks for the replies- I have tons of them in my chaeto ball. I just wondered if that was normal. 2in10, How many do you want?

    I love the few I have, and hope to get some more when my larger tank is up.
