I have noticed a huge population of these little clear creatures first withnen my live rock, but this morning as I was doing a top off in my sump, I turned on my flashlight (didnt want to disturb the fish), and to my surprise the sponge that is rite before my return pump, is filled with these things, they seem to be in all the crevises... Now Im doing my next water change this weekend, and thats when I really Squeeze out the sponge, should I release these guys back in the tank, or let them down the drain.
I think I have amphipods; Good or Bad

They are good fellas.. Save as many as you can..
Pods are you friends and a very needed part of the whole eco-system we are striving to create.
Last months edition of "Coral Magazine" had an EXCELLENT write up of pods and how beneficial they really are. I highly suggest that magazine to anyone who is interested in the long term health and well-being of your tanks
Say YES to Pods!!

I would let the go, either back into the sump or into the display. They are scavengers, and they are food for the fish.
Or is that an escapee from area 51?
