creatures of the night!!!

[bigred]

I looked at my tank for the first time with the light offtonight and found some neet creatures. One was like a little silver fish crawling around on the rocks. Another was a worm coming out of one of my rocks, it was brown with no noticalbe tenticles. And last was tiny little thing that love when I put the light against the glass they would go right to it. They look lght little fleas bouncing around on the glass. That what I found with the light off for about five minutes. I'm going to wait for about a hour and try again. Let me know if these things are good or bad? Thanks.... <img src="graemlins//urrr.gif" border="0" alt="[urrr]" />

It's been about a hour now and I saw 1 bristle worm and about 3 more of the brown worms. I also saw a kind of tan and black and when it retracked in the rock it sucked in from the tip. i guess thats how you would put it. Are all of these normal?

Worms and LR ARE definately normal. What the worms do is up to discussion.

The brown worms may be peanut worms. All of the things you describe sound normal. The 'fleas' sound like pods and so does the little fish thing. The other thing you described I can not help you with, it could be several things from the description.
