So I like to look in my tank at night and see whats crawling around and make sure everythings doing ok. I noticed this shrimp and realized I never bought him and know he didnt come on any coral ive gotten unless he was micro sized. Could it be im a shrimp farmer? Haha I wasnt able to get a picture but hes a little over an inch long, transparent, long antenna, and very long arms with little claws. Have no idea what he could be but anyone who knows anything about shrimp please comment!
 
Impossible to say without a picture, but it may be a Mantis or pistol shrimp that hitchhiked on your live rock. Do you eve hear any clicking or popping sounds coming from your tank?
 
I know for sure it isnt a mantis or pistol. Yeah it reminds me of the peterson anemone shrimp I see when im diving only no color and his claws armrs are a little longer...
 
Yeah thats what I was thinking at first but then got confused as to why he had such long arms and little claws like some type of anemone cleaner shrimp
