Hi folks. Just looking to confirm the isopods in my invert/coral QT are not the parasitic type, and hopefully just munnid as I suspect before adding more snails to my DT. They're not quite as leggy as I've seen in images.

Video gets better magnification and clarity as it goes on (probably around 0:45 and beyond is best).

Also, I presume the algae is byropsis, yes?

Thanks!

It's my invert QT. I mostly leave it alone outside of adding a lot of phyto so they have a food source. Thanks for the confirm.
 

Freshwater filter only or is it? Have you ever used an HOB filter on a saltwater tank?
