Hello,
I'm new with insects, but I'll learn fast. I have a thriving colony of Lobsters in a 20 gallon tank.
Today I moved a piece of cardboard that was laying on the glass directly under the heater. I didn't measure it, but it had to be at least 110-120 under there. Under the cardboard was a colony of Little multi-legged tiny, half-inch long, not worms, more like tiny centipedes. I have to doubt they are not the Lobster Roach's first larval stage. I scooped and vacuumed them out. Are they harmful? Some kind of parasite? Or just commensul, a harmless case of non-parasitic living together or benefitting each other? Would the adult Lobsters eat them if they could? This is very interesting.(Didn't I spell Benefitting correctly?)
TIA, everybody!
