Thank you very much for writing this aritcle and providing the diagrams and photographs. There really is a lot of great information to take in!
As a relatively newcomer to aquaria husbandry (my dad moved and gave me his aquarium and the friends contained within), I am lost in all kinds of terminology and jargon. Anyone willing to keep an active dialog going that helps the audience of newcomers find there way is alright by me.
For the longest time I've observed these nocturnal (mostly) "bugs" moving about on the live rocks and wondered what exactly they were. Now I realize that they are not "Copepods" but rather Amphipods.
I look forward to reading your articles on a regular basis so as to be fully informed. I find this whole new world I am being exposed to absolutely fascinating. The fact that I have to relearn chemistry, fluid dynamics, biology, and a way to fake pronouncing latin words sound reasonably accurate, are all a small price.
Thanks again :fish1:
