Megklink Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hi y'all, I was hoping someone would be able to help me identify two new "creatures" in my 240. I am hoping these guys aren't nuisances. Thank you in advance Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
esacjack Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I cant tell what the first pic is, but they appear to be micro-snails. The second appear to be sponges. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timfish Posted March 21, 2013 Share Posted March 21, 2013 The sponges are probably a Tethys species and have the ability to "walk" albieght very slowly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Megklink Posted March 21, 2013 Author Share Posted March 21, 2013 That's very interesting. They have been multiplying like crazy all over the tank and some have been there for almost a year but they haven't moved...yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
