ID for Pods?


Recommended Posts

Hi,

Recently noticed some pods in my nano tank. Its body is approx 2mm length. (pls forgive the quality of the pics)

I can't tell if they are Isopods, Copepods or Amphipods.

Can anyone help ID?

I have positively identified Copepods in tank, very small, approx 1mm. But these new pods looks different.

Where does all these pods come from? Am using NSW, so maybe thats how they were introduced into the tank.

bro... try Google "munnid isopod" to match..

Cheers and Happy Reefing..

Thanks bro, yes it does look like a type of Munnid Isopod.

Hope that is correct, as article says Munnids are good. Else, I'm in trouble if its a parasitic isopod.
