its not mesquito larvae they cant live in saltwater, its isopods and copepods tiny little crustaceans that have come from your live rock or live sand they are completly harmless and some fish love to eat them. i would be more concerned if you never saw these in your tank, these are just shure signs your tank is well on its way to maturity

They are most likely copepods or isopods. I freaked out when I first saw them in my tank. Not to worry. There are fish that like to graze on little creatures like that. It is a sign that your tank is coming along nicely.

maybe it's just getting dirty and bacteria is growing in there or misquitos.
