- I have just noticed that the wall of my 15g marine mini-reef tank (10lbs
- of live rock, one maroon clown, one yellow tang, and a cleaner shrimp) has a
- large number of tiny (pin-point size) white organisms on it. I thought they
- were bubbles until I saw one of them crawling DOWN. They seem to be fond of
- the common green algae which grows on the tank walls.
-
- Is this a problem? There seem to be a lot of these organisms. I
- would appreciate any experience that you can offer. Thanks in advance!
