 ID and some advise. Hello, I seem to have these little shrimplike things swarming all ovr my tank I was wondering if you coul tell me what there were and if I should be concerned, and how/if to control them. I've attached a picture of them <a href="http://img530.imageshack.us/my.php?image=img3741qd0.j pg" target="_blank"><img src="http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/7679/img3741qd0.th.jpg" border="0" alt="Free Image Hosting at www.ImageShack.us" /></a> http://img530.imageshack.us/img530/7679/img3741qd0.jpg On a side note, I also have a coral (i'm unsure which type) that has not been opening up for the past 3-4 days. I don't know if they are dying but everything else seems fine. Any ideas what is going on?  http://img408.imageshack.us/img408/8876/img3740jr0.jpg Thanks for your advises!  |

| Re: ID and some advise. First I did not see the shrimp things in that pic. if you have two shrimp in the tank then you probbly have babys if not? try to get better pic. second I have the same Zoos or sea carpet what ever thay are called and with my'n it seams that some open every day and others open every 2 or 3 days I dont know why. I'm new at this saltwater But I do know when I first got them I tryed to put them up high in the tank under t5 4.5 w per gal and thay did not like it . thay have done much better now that I moved them down to the center and wonder if mayby thay want the bottom. On closer look with mag glass I think I see some Cephalopods on that green thing if I'm right you want them
