Pest or Benefit?
I just added sand and filled my tank today. The LFS where I purchased the sand (locally known for excellent coral and service) also sold me an active bio-brick from their system.
I’m on the fence whether to use it or not. When I got home and opened the bucket, I found the following on the brick.
Are these pests or helpful members of the biome?
If they are O.K. Are there any preparation steps I should do? Freshwater rinse, saltwater rinse, throw it the currently empty quarantine tank and keep an eye on it?
Any good thread links that describe the process of using a foreign bio-brick and whether or not it is a good idea?
Thanks ahead of time.
