first pic are copepods. Second looks like some type of sponge. Is it soft or encrusted?

Concur on the copepods. The second one looks like a bunch of spaghetti noodles to me. Do you have young kids that might have thrown some "dinner" in the tank for the fishes?

I have never seen anything like it. Hopefully someone can ID it.

ya got 3 kids but none were home that week , that was the first thing mike and mark said too at hidden reef lol. is there something that will devower the copepods since there is hundreds of them in my tank , when i clean the filter bags there is at least 75 per bag min

I wonder if the second pic is from a drunk snail laying eggs or something? :razz:

the excess copepods won't harm anything :biggrin:

Buy a mandarin fish, they would love a copepod population like that :)

the pods will control themselves, and fish will eat them if they sit in the corner like that. Most people want more, not less. More is good.

I get that type of spagetti type coral in my Seio between cleanings. There must be 10 of them in there at a time. Never saw anything bad about them so left them alone.
