It is the exact same size as 1mm NLS pellets, which I thought it was until nothing would eat it. Upon closer inspection I saw that it was swimming. Lemonpeel and potters wrasse followed it but would not eat it. It looks like a red/orange ball that is covered in moving "cilia" for lack of a better word.

I just added some Florida Caulerpa prolifera and ceriths which it may have come in with.
