White Parisites in tank.

[luis]

I'm noticing in my tank alot of tiny parisites that crawl all over the tank. They also are on my clams and snails. Are they bad for the tank? There are so many of them and hard to see unless you look very closely.

If they look like little fleas there copepodes. There harmless, natural and benificial. If you want to control their numbers or at least keep them out of sight coral banded shrimp, cleaner shrimp, and many small fish will eat them or chase onto hiding during the day.
