Yes, stomatella. I think they are adorable, especially the black ones.

well finally this is working. Thanks for the answers. Do they just keep multiplying? Is there anything that eats them? I wouldn't want to get rid of them all but I would still like to be able to see the rest of the inhabitants.

BethanyM, either this world or another planet, I want out of the fire. heheeheee

mine only come out at night.. are yours out during the day?

Why do you want to get rid of them? They eat algae and will only multiply to a point that will support them.

Most of them I see at night. Some are while lights are on.
I wouldnt want to get rid of them only if they became to populated. I didn't know they would only multiply to a point. Guess I'll keep them all. strange looking little suckers.

some people have reported some things like coral banded shrimps will eat them, but as Freed said, there's no good reason to get rid of them, they're good.

Thanks for the info. I guesss they stay. Unless the shrimps eat them.
