Blacklight flashlight from walmart, $10 best buy of my life (for four years now). Anyway, I'm always checking things out with it, so naturally I've looked at everything in my tank Which is my first saltwater tank, and its a month and a half in. 46g bow frnt, Hob filter, live rock, live sand, hermits (2 huge thin stripes and more), snails, two pj cardinals, I also have a huge pod population. Onthe rock I found that the filter feeders I have all have neon green specks under my black light. Tonight I noticed something in the sand move. Well turns out, either a copepod or amphipod or zooplankton or something glows neon green as well. I already enjoyed watching all my "bugs" crawl around everything, but now!? Its so cool. But only half of them glow. Does anyone know which or what "bug" is actually glowing in uv lighting. I assume many people know about this, as ive seen many coral tanks set up with uv lighting. Someone please enlighten me. Of course my pictures dont do any justice
