I'm not exactly sure how this happened...

The light spot that is circled is one of several amphipods living on this mat of alga in my skimmer.
This is what my skimmate looks like.

I removed all my chaeto from my fuge awhile back and there hasn't been any light in the sump for about 3 weeks. The only light that is under that stand is ambient room light as the back is open. The interesting thing is this alga didn't show up until after the light was cut off and is only located in the skimmer.
