unknown creatures...harmful?

[corkscrewnyc]

I have started to see a few occasional very tiny white or clear what are looking like parasites on my glass at times....anyone know what they are, how to get rid or need to? Also again tiny clear in the shape of a centipede but much much minute running around the rocks here and there? Ideas on what they are or need to remove and if so how? Finally I also now have a mess of really small i think snails all over the place same questions? Thanks all..

sounds like pods.. not sure about the snails... pics would help

Any idea on what fish or crab will eat them? Are they something to be concerned about?

 

[DontXtripNfall]

pods are good... if you want a fish to eat them pick up a wrasse or dragonet pending on wat size tank you have.

Pyramid snails maybe?

Do they look like copepods?
OR
Do they look like amphipods?

Please post a pic! So far they sound like good things (pods) that you don't want to eliminate from your tank..but a pic will help us be sure!!

If they are pods, you want them in your tank
The things you think that might be small snails..are they circular looking and are they on your glass?

Whatever any of they guys are you do NOT want to put a mandarin or dragonette in your tank, it is way too immature ..and out of the question even in the future if it is less than 75-100 gallons.
