Yeah. Im pretty sure its an amphipod. But its hard to find names for each type. that link shows a similar one with no name.

Maybe you could take a crack at this one @Lovemyreef2015

Red Sea Flea (Amaryllis sp.),

Dont think so. Thx though

 

[Kamden Uelton]

really?? I've searched for a good hour and thats the only naturally red amphipod I could find! However I have read something saying that can change to the color of the food they eat so it could've eaten something red?

 

[Wiz]

The front two thirds of this one are red and the rear third is clear. I have now found two other pictures of this exact pod. But no names. It is not entirely red like the sea flea

 

[Kamden Uelton]

never been more confused in my life... I hope someone helps you figure out the name I have a Geometry test tomorrow

This is the kind in my tank. This page has no name for it. Same situation on another page i found.

Good luck on the test.

Im always down for some bio. Maybe when the weather gets better here i could pay you to send me something. algae, sand, rock. Alot of people worry. But a bit of bryopsis or a flatworm. Sometimes its rough to deal with. But i live. I fix. I have a lot of critters that are awesome! Cant get those without risk.

When its a bit warmer ill hook you up with some critters or if your in my area send me a msg

I think it looks similar to a Anonyx nugax. family of amphipod. The bottom half of the body doesn't look clear but it is not red like the top half either. Here is a picture.

Being that there are over 9500 different amphipods out there, it would be very hard to give a exact ID.

 

[John3]

No idea but it should be called a reef mouse. Lol

 

[Wiz]

Those huge white glowing eyes seem pretty unique

 

[Lionfish Lair]

My ears were burning.

I agree it's a type of gammarid.

[reef lover]

Yay so glad your back! We missed you!

[Lionfish Lair]

I had a beautiful poster full of photos of the different gammarids.... it's on my computer that crashed and burned.

 

[Wiz]

That's too bad. This guy is really cool
