Hmm.. White dots sound like copapods(sp?). I think that Manadrin Gobies will feast on them..

Mandrain gobies will eat pods but you will need a lot of them daily because they have a huge appetite. Most ppl will say that you will need 100+lbs of LR to supply enough pods for them to eat. Just a little FYI before you go an buy one and it starves.

You have a harmless filter feeder there, a good sign the tank is maturing well.

True, but most retailers have them eating shrimp as well. At least, the three I have all ate shrimp when I brought them home..

Somewhat true. Some have been known to eat frozen food but there are still many that don't and end up starving to death beacuse the pod population isn't healthy enough to sustain them. Just thought I would point out that most mandrains will only eat pods and a few will eat frozen.
