Hey all,
I'm pretty sure the answer is going to be, "Yes those are copepods", but I wanted to check with the community to be sure they aren't a pest I should be concerned about. I had added Tigriopus Californicus “Tigger” copepods about a month ago but they were much smaller and swam in the water column as white specs jerking around the tank. It seemed as of late they were all gone. But then I noticed these guys yesterday crawling all over the rocks. They seem to only be on the rocks. Most are clearish looking like these but others are more brown, any ideals?
Thanks in advance.
