Critters in tank
 
Hi,
I woke up this morning to find 'critters' crawling on tank glass. How would I find out if good or bad?

There is no rule for knowing if its good or bad. Try to post a picture or description on the forum. Picture would be better. Someone will most likely know what you have.

Someone can correct me if I'm wrong. I was told that they are good and a sign of a healthy tank. They showed up on the glass in my tank a couple months after I set it up, they aren't in the tank anymore but can still be found on the live rock pieces in my 'hang on' type filter.
