Hitchiker ID

Hey everyone,

Got a frag of GSP today and found this guy on it. Looked around and it seems maybe some sort of pod? Swims very fast, longer rather than wider. Appears to have a hard shell and antennas.

Thanks!

Amphipod. Harmless cleanup crew hitchhiker.

Thank you! You saved his life, he's officially added to the crew.

Haha good save! Love those little guys.

Quick Google says they may or may not feed on dinos. Got plenty of those recently, a welcome addition to the tank should be survive

I highly doubt that, I've never read anything about amphipods eating dinos in all of the posts I've read on dinos here. But they are definitely a nice detrius eater, until they become food themselves, that is.. lol.
