Help with these "little bugs" please

[Kristen Marie]

I am so new at this.... still unsure of alot ....

I was looking at my nano-reef tonight... 2 weeks old.... and I noticed a few little bug looking things in my tank. They were no larger than 1-2 mm and are white-almost transparent.

I am paranoid and wondering if this is a parasite that I need to worry about, or if it is just a macroinvertebrae of some type.

Any ideas???? Please help... Thanks :?

after reading some more stuff, I am guessing these things are copepods... is that right?

don't worry about 'em-they're fine (scavengers, too)(copepods/amphipods)

after a couple of months-try doing some 'nite viewing' of your tank-fascinating stuff!

welcome to the board!
