Greetings y’all,
I have a question about this critter or exoskeleton floating around my tank. The tank is pretty new, have some crabs, snails and two clowns. Used live rock and live sand when I set it up.

Wondering if it’s bad or good or neither lol. Pics below

Any suggestions would be great!! Thanks so much!!

Sorry last pic won’t delete lol… the tiny white spec is another one
 
Looks like an Amphipod shed which is harmless. Or possible a small shrimp hitchhiker shed, hard to gauge the size
Size maybe like 1/4-1/2 inch spread out…. So they are harmless right??
 
The shed is harmless for sure. If it’s a smaller shrimp (1/2” is a bit big for an Amphipod), it’s likely harmless also
Thank you for your help!!
