Yesterday in the shrimp tank I noticed what appeared to be fine thread attached to the apple wood.
4 or 5 bits waving about at the top.
Today one of them has moved further down the wood. I have looked with my husband's linen tester (very fine magnifier) and it is VERY strange.
Appears to be attached using one "leg" and has 5 or 6 antler like things waving around. It looks like the sort of thing you would expect to see in a marine setup. It is very very tiny. It is almost transluscent.
Is this bad for my tank. I've seen 5 of the shrimp this morning and they are busy busy busy sifting through the sand.
PS. Managed to get a photo I hope
Anyone have any ideas. That piece of wood has been in there for a couple of months, was very dead when it went in. Was soak, boiled and scrubbed thoroughly so I can't imagine anything was living on it
Any help much appreciated.
I'm off to The Royal Albert Hall later this morning (son in law's treat) for a St. George's Day gala so don't have time to sort it out before I go.
