    I have copepods in my refugium and these bug like creatures don't look like them. My Mandarinfish won't eat them he swims right over them. What could they be. Could they be the ones hurting mt Derasa Clam? Sorry such a bad pic. 20170401_163520-1.jpg

    Are they flatworms?

    Don't think we can ID them without a better picture. Can you maybe siphon some out in to a small container and see if you can get a better pic?

    How big are they? Can you see legs or any other structure?

    If they're 'bugs' I'm guessing a type of pod. You sure he's not eating them? Not picking at rocks?

    I've watched him and he will swim right over them. Thanks for the reply
