    just found some weird bugs on the glass of my salt set up. 14 gal bio cube. No major changes lately except the adition of a starfish two days ago. They have ten or twelve legs and have antena. I can't take pics their soo small the camera wont focus on them.

    I'm worried! is this a pest?!!??

    Are they like amphapods? Look under parasites in the internet and other critters and start looking at photos to compare.

    There are many many different Copepods I would suspect it is a copepod of some sort

    Hydroids maybe? Can you explain them further?

    Are they round? What do they look like?

    Clowns love pods. Pods and algae comprise 70% of their diet in the wild

    And they do sound like pods
