Bristleworms looks like. Get a coral banded shrimp. Mine ate all of them. Warning: you can't keep a coral banded with other shrimp

UI would disagree with this statement, In my last tank before I moved, I had 2 cleaner shrimp, 4 peppermint shrimp, and a yellow banded shrimp, I had all of them for well over a year maybe even two

Yeah pods are great!!! The more the merrier. That's a healthy tank if you're growing pods

Nice Pods, need to get rid of the bristleworm...

arrow crabs are awesome at eating the worms. its one of the only crabs i have seen that actually had them in its claws.

 

[ReeferBob]

Maybe it is just me but it looks like a mysis shrimp.

 

[navila06]

IMO bristleworms aren't bad. THey are just another detritus eater. Biodiversity!

 

[jedimasterben]

Copepods, amphipods, and even bristleworms are great additions to your cleanup crew, and 'pods are tasty little snacks for fish and corals. The more the merrier.

Mine is very aggressive and I've been told they don't play nice anyway. Maybe if you have a big enough tank you can do that- the tank mine is in is a 20. I also just don't like bristle worms. I know they're not necessarily bad but they freak me out.

that is a type of copepod or amphipod. which are good for your tank and some great fish that will eat those and love em are any type of Mandarin or dragonet. the green mandarin to me is a really cool fish, it hover over the rocks hunting for copepods or amphipods. I buy them to put in my tank to feed my mandarin.
