But speaking of critters...some hitchhikers that we aquired are showing. Looks like dried strands of spaghetti (same size...all under a few inches long) with an orange feathery "thing" coming out the end of the tube. It quickly retracts into the tube as soon as I cast a shadow over it. We don't know if it is a good critter or a pest. ALSO...have a number of critters that are about 2-3 mm long running all over the place. Clear appearance...kinda look like little shrimps. :lol:

I'll post some pics later this week.

Congrats!

Sounds like you have some Feather Dusters & some pods :)

Yup, they are harmless, just let them be. If they get out of control, you can peel them off the rocks, or some fish naturally like to eat them.

Your critters are fine worms are good and the clear shrimp are probally pods.
