these are so small they would not show up via digital macro. they are small white bugs about 1/4 to 1/2 the size of a pin head that crawl on the glass. this 12 gal nano reef is new and started cycling 14 days ago.
If you look at them with reading glasses (ok so you'll look like a nerd sitting there) do they have a split tail and feelers on their heads? I have tons of those.. they are pods... not bad.. good food for lots of things.
