Sorry to hear about all your unwelcome critters. Hope it improves soon.

The 125gal tank was officially deep cleaned since all of the crabs have been clean for a couple of weeks. H. Miles worked great!

I'm now just dealing with a couple of adoptees that brought in mites. These look different than the ones that were initially on the straws. The straws mites looked like a tiny grain of white sand with legs and almost diamond shape.
The mites that came in on the 2 pps I adopted are red and have what looks like antennae or a larger mouth part (they are the size of a grain of sand as well- I use a magnifying glass and bright light). I really wish I could have gotten pictures- it really would have helped in creating a better pictoral guide :-/
