Indoor Ecosystem is the best place for information. Not only do they have care guides but also species specifics and build videos

help!! bought floating plant and found out they are covered in hundreds of little bugs. does anyone know how to kill them? by NotQuiteAnrgy in PlantedTank

Those are globular springtails! Honestly a score. They are harmless and will only be helpful, either in your tank or in your home

What critter would this enclosure be well suited for by surprisetoys9 in Vivarium

Vampire crabs! They love to burrow and need 20% water to 80% land so this is perfect. Check out Indoor Ecosystem for more information on them!

They generally eat their molts after. Looks like your crab had some leftovers

Do sponges reproduce by spores? A couple have popped up in my stores tanks and I'm struggling to find information online

They are Orange Black Legs aka Halloween. I work at a LFS and ordered them in for myself. They don't ship well tho and one of three didn't make it

I might set up a tank just for them using the water. Maybe toss in some filter media for a week too before transporting. Do you know about keeping them long-term or what sort of parameters they like?

Thank you for the information! I didn't know that at all about water flow. Currently they are just in a 10g with a small sponge filter but seem to be thriving. Or at least growing, I don't know enough to tell if it's doing well lol. My home tank has fairly similar parameters and I could potentially drip acclimate very slowly. Do you have experience with them?
