copepods

[aprilabaxter]

Can someone tell me what a copepod looks like? I have some live rock in my tank and I would like to know if I am growing any of these.

thanks for referring to the site. I will turn out the lights this evening and look in my tank with a flashlight. Never thought about things coming out in the dark.

When you do the flashlight trick---you'll see alot, just take your time---I find my brissle worms and alot of other worms when lights are off, even found an unknown snail. That was a plus!
