water bug?

[Rick]

I have reciently noticed some typea of water bugs in my tank.


1st one, I can only see it at night with a flashlight. It moves back
into the live rock as soon as the light hits it and I have not yet
been able to identify it. It looks simular to an earwig by size and
color (brownish).

The second one I saw look simular to a termite but more of a white
color? anyone know what it might be and if it could be trouble?
Where can I look at some photos to help identify this creature.

The third thing I have in my tank looks like some kind of miniture
feather duster about 1/2 long and a polyp type tip that looks simular
to a micro feather duster. It looks kind og a white clear color.


any links of where I can look to help find out what this deep sea
creature maybe?

Sounds like 'pods. Perfectly normal, and rather desireable.
