I am new to the saltwater world. I have little white flea like critters running around and I have black and skin color looks like little slugs. The little flea like critters are about 1/2 centemeter and the sluggy things range from almost invisible to about 1 1/2 centameters long. Any ideas on what they are and if they are good for the tank:confused:

WELCOME TO THE BOARD!!

The little flea things are probably pods... tiny little crustaceans... very beneficial.
The slugs could be some sort of nudibranch (possibly good)... or flatworms (bad). Really hard to make a positive ID without a better description or pic.

The "slugs" are probably nudibranches, from your description. I don't have a clue as to what type of nudi they might be though.
