Creature ID? Pods?

[Clowny88]

So I'm seeing these guys in my chaeto and walking on my live rock... Not a ton but a few here and there.

They are about the size of a small ant, sort of see through, back tail curls under a little, and they don't swim... They crawl and walk on the live rock. Like a little bug.

It almost looks like a shrimp but doesn't seem to match anything I've Googled.

I do feed frozen brine shrimp from time to time. Is it possible these little guys are from frozen brine shrimp eggs? I don't think they are amphipods or copepods of some sort... But I could be wrong. Not hard to see at all so that's why I ruled out copepods.

Hard to tell without a picture.

Sounds like amphipods. I was watching some of these suckers disappear into the rocks this morning.

Google Images is an amazing function!

I was thinking the same thing, but didn't want to give a proper ID without a picture.

Mysid shrimp or amphipods would be my guess.

Thanks, Kyle! Yeah hard to take a picture because they are so small. This looks like a winner.

I was on Google images searching brine/mysis shrimp and couldn't get a match. Thanks for the help!
