"Bad" Anenome Eating Bugs

[clown_nut]

This past Afternoon I Aquired one of those Majano? Anenomes. I figured since I won't have the cash for any coral any time Soon I would buy one of those weeds...lol. Just to have something in the tank. Anyways Since I put my liverock in the tank these little bugs have multiplied enourmously and are now all over the dang tank...when i got home tonight i noticed that the new Majano had a couple of them in it's grip..one of which wasin it's mouth already...along with Kent Marine Micro-Vert Can I expect that this new addition to my tank won't require additonal feedings? btw my lighting is a Coralife 96w PC.

Bump!

sounds like the bugs are pods. Do they kinda look like teeny weeny shrimp, white to clear looking? Yes you have to feed your anemone a peice of shrimp or silversides or something.

wow I have pods huh...the things are EVERYWHERE..lol and hmm I wonder what i can find small enough to feed it..

 

[clown_nut]

By the way...just what are these pods feeding off of? Not much food is put into the tank anymore cept to feed the starfish...

Believe it or not, I actually saw one of my pods chowin' down on a piece of snail poop!! I was goona get a pic, but after the first "piece" I guess he was full, cause he bolted!! I have plenty of snails but my pod population has seriously diminished, so I guess snail poop isn't all they eat. But I thought it was an interesting tid-bit...
