cycling through brown diatoms. now I have little white bugs,copepods or something. white tube anenome? and
a purple snail pyramid with orange attennae eyes?

Answer
hello John,

welcome to our reef world.

Congrats on all your cools sounding critters.  Keep an eye out at night, break out the flashlight and some popcorn, as I find more and more cool stuff at night.

I am not sure if you are asking a question or not but, from what i read, you just have fairly normal critters on your rock...

I would make sure you get some more snails to help with any algae/diatom break out you might be getting...
