I guess that's what they are, then. Thank you!

We've also recently come across macroalgae, barnacles, and either a tube worm or spaghetti worm. We haven't seen a base, yet, but we have white wormy lines all over the live rock, but it doesn't move. Hopefully one day I can ID it!

I love finding new critters in the tank. It's neat.

The biggest amphipod I ahve seen in my tank was like 5-6 cm long it was preying on the smaller ones! My tank is just crawling with them at night it looks like the sand and rocks are alive!

Hm. Looks like I need some night lights. I couldn't believe how many I saw this morning! It waas freaky!

What's the best kind of light to use for night viewing? I know red lights are great for reptiles who don't seem to notice it.... would it be the same for fish?

I use a plain old flashlight with a piece of red gel on the front. As long as it is not too bright not much seems to notice. So yes I guess red light is the way to go for exploring at night.
