There is a long backstory to this, but I purchased an Innovation Marine 20 gallon AIO tank from my local fish store that was the display model. It came with live rock and a clean up crew. I was told the tank was pretty much cycled so I was good to add my clownfish and diamond goby right away. The numbers have been steady and what I consider good (ammonia 0; nitrites: 0; nitrates: 10-20) for about three weeks under my watch.
With all that as a back drop, I'm starting to notice various organisims which appear to be hitchhikers. I'd love to hear what hitchhikers I need to take care of right away and which ones will disappear as my tank matures.
Thanks for the replies and the help!
