Since fish are in QT, I'm noticing that there is certainly more to life in a fowlr tank than meets the eye ;)
Noticed about 5 of these guys climbing the glass the other night. ID would be appreciated.

Doesn't look like the standard copepod I'm used to seeing.. I'll be interested as well when someone ID's it.

Amphiscolops sp acoel flatworm, harmless unless they proliferate into plague proportions. You can suck out the ones you see with a turkey baster if you want to. They will wax and wane with available food stuffs. In plagues they can cover coral and hurt them from not getting enough light. They can also become unsightly. If you have brown or red ones maybe a different story.
