    Youll be surprised. Thell be fine, wont impact your bio load much and their small so thell just basically Theyll spread out, and some will die off. it looks worse than it is, really.

    Alright. I hope they spread out because it's looking really ugly.

    yeah, it think you'll be fine! you have some hermits to clean up when a few die! They'll disperse and hide a lot! main problem right now would be the lack of algae for them to eat!

    I'd give it a few days and if you still hate them, pluck some out and down to your LFS!
