Strange occurences

[tk667]

yesterday added feather duster, 10 crabs, 10 snails, cleaner shrimp, and anemone to 30 gal reef tank. tonight, many tiny organisms (transparent, pin-head size) swimming everywhere. clownfish hovering near top, swimming on side (horizontally). No visible signs of parasites on fish. What does this mean? How can I treat without a qt? Help Appreciated! Thanks.

Little swimming orgs are PROBALLY ok you realy need to ask a shark, It probally means you have a healthy tank if the are little orgs swimming around. Sorry about your clown. <img src="graemlins//confused.gif" border="0" alt="[confused]" />

You probably just have little copepods that came in on some of your live stock. I wouldn't worry about them being parasites. As far as the clown is concerned . . . how long has he been swimming sideways? There really isn't enough information to say whether he is behaving oddly due to the effect of possible parasites.
