Re: Strange white things that come out at night
Well just my luck - lights went out and the little suckers started coming out - /i got my camera and got ready to take some picks...batteries died.
 Just the way things go for me - well I will try again tonight.d.french - no I do not believe that copepods can be bad. But if you have an abundance of them get a mandarin or wrasse that will eat them. both are pretty fish.

Re: Strange white things that come out at night
Well I went back through melev's id page and found the culprit - It's a Digitate hydroid. They seem to be filter feeders but there is confusion as to weather they are bad or not. Some say they are harmless and some say they will sting fish. Now that there is an id - any thoughts from anyone??

Re: Strange white things that come out at night
Yeh smart a** you pointed me in the right direction in the beginning.
 This is why you need to be president again!! Your just such a smart a** oops!! I mean your just soo smart!!Would a wrasse eat something like that?? And if so which one would be best?? The down side to a wrasse is they are all jumpers aren't they? Would a wrasse also eat the pods that the mandarin depends on?? Sorry for all the questions  "Reef-safe-ish" just doesn't give me the warm fuzzy feeling I was looing for.

Re: Strange white things that come out at night
Most fish will eat the pods.... tasty little treats they are.
Hard to say if a wrasse will eat that specific type of worm, but in general wrasses eat lots of things such as bad worms, bristle and flat. However they will sometimes turn on ornamental shrimp as well.

Re: Strange white things that come out at night
Maybe try a sixline wrasse, they are great for controlling midellid snails and commensal flatworms. I also had a bunch of worms in my tank when I first set it up and after the wrasse they have dissapeared.

Re: Strange white things that come out at night
Any fish can be a jumper.Just are more apt to do it.
But basically it depends on the wrasse.

Re: Strange white things that come out at night
Wrasses are considered jumpers.
This must be ''dig up old thread month''.
