Hey all, I recentley installed a tunze 9005 skimmer in my aquarium and after I looked at the filter there was a bug/shrimp like thing on the filter..

could be copepods, which come in on live rock and macro algaes.
They are benefical and food for many saltwater fishes.
can you get a picture of it? Does it look like a spongy white thing?
If you added live rock thats where their from i have gotten small crabs along with shrimp from my live rock. Its like a box a chocolate you never know what u gonna get. You might even get a few more as time goes on no worries.
