they are pods, they are not pests. Pods are good for tanks bro.. its normal to find a lot on a ball of chaeto.. fishes love it! i use pods to feed newly introduced fish in my tank.
i love Salt!

to be specific they are amphipods aljan mosquito size pods na nakatira sa chaeto... at home kasi sila sa chaeto kaya dun sila nakatira, they eat plant base items like algaes most of the time, hindi nila kaya kainin chaeto makunat yun hehehe :mrgreen: hermit crab lang ang may ability to munch on chaeto... :D HTH
