Help with another ID

The things I need an ID on are the tiny white specs that seem to glide over the coral. I have seen them release from the coral and float away with the current.

Are they copepods? I'm seeing the same things on the glass but not on the other corals.

I saw on the coral..It's not pod, some kind of bugs..

 

[Fish Wrangler]

Could it be stressing the coral causing my problems with it? Any way to remove the bugs?

 

[maidia]

Dip the corals with CoralRX or Revive..But I don't know they are what king of bugs? Pod are hard to see under your eyes.

 

[Fish Wrangler]

Should any lfs have revive?

 

[Sparky312]

Yeah I'd say dip it. I think most dips are pretty much the same -- call up your LFS's one of them should carry some type of coral dip

Problem is as soon as you move it they probably swim away, they seem to move around pretty quick, maybe a fish will eat them. I know my angles pick at everything

Something like a mandarin rako? What about a flame angel?

 

[madjoe]

Just looks like air bubbles

 

[madjoe]

Or baby mysis shrimp

 

[Fish Wrangler]

air bubbles wouldn't move down though when there isn't any current. The only mysis in the tank should be dead because I feed frozen mysis. I thought it was nearly impossible to get mysis to grow in captivity too

African Flame back , Manderians are usually pod eaters

decisions decisions. I really want a mandarin, but don't know if I could support one once the pods are gone. A sixline is another option I'm considering too.

My nepthea started to extend out a little today! First time in 2 weeks it has had any extension.

Double post.

I wouldn't waste my time dipping your corals...whatever these are, they can be seen on the rock to the right in your video....which means they are likely everywhere at this point...imo they move alot like a pod and more than likely that is what they are...do a google search for "saltwater bugs" and you will find a ton of posts and pix to reference

I'm probably not going to dip the coral since I saw it extending today, I don't want to stress it any more than it already is. I am seriously debating getting a mandarin goby though. I think I have enough pods for it to live long enough for me to train him to eat frozen.
