Abstract
Besides the detection of high energy neutrinos, the ANTARES telescope offers an opportunity to improve sensitivity to exotic cosmological relics. In this article we discuss the sensitivity of the ANTARES detector to elativistic monopoles and slow nuclearites. Dedicated trigger algorithms and search strategies are being developed to search or them. The data filtering, background rejection selection criteria are described, as well as the expected sensitivity of ANTARES to exotic physics.
