White "lices" on walls

[spgohjc]

Sorry, cant get photos. Very very tiny white creatures in groups crawling on the walls of the tank. Size less than 0.5mm. It's alive! What are these? How to get rid of it? Please advice.

You need to provide some photos since they sound like copepods, which are good. In fact, many people spend money to buy them for feeding difficult fish like mandarins.

Need photos to identify.

Wild guess is its Copepods, which is good.

Should be pods...

Thank you for all your responses. It's so tiny. Just managed to get a photo. Please advice what is this and how can I get rid of it? Every time I scrub it away, next day it comes back again.

Thank you All for your responses. Will explore the mandarins option. Probably need supplementary diet as well.

Not just Mandarin. Many fish go crazy over them.

Cleared some of it by my yellow wrasse. Then it dived into the sand and disappeared for the rest of the day. Weird fish.

Wow u hv such a nice colony of pods in ur tank. I wish my pods will move from my refugium to my main tank

Pods follow algae. You are wishing for algae in your DT.

The pods usually feed on algae, if i haven clean my tank walls for 3 days they will all appear on the wall feeding on the algae

[Jenaellyn]
