need ID on tiny critters

[testertips]

Introduced 12 new corals in the past week - they were dipped in coral rx. Tonight my tank if full of these tiny critters. They make quick movements... pls ID, thanks.

Hard to tell, how long did you dip them, do you have a 6-line wrasse

Dipped approximately 10 minutes and yes I do have a 6 line. The clowns are eating them as well.

If any fish is eating them don't worry

#reefsquad any ideas? Thanks.

If they're on the glass with small jerky movements, then some kind of copepods would be my thought. Score! Great fishfood, and tiny cleaner-uppers that go where others can't reach.

If they're gliding through the water column, possibly mysid shrimp - though the photos are a tad blurry, they have that shape, with a little tail. Also score!

They look like mysid shrimp to me (do they look like tiny tadpoles?) - we have them in both tanks and are a great live food for the tank

Do you have a shrimp in there? If not, I agree with mysid.

I'm going with everyone else with mysid. We have them all over our macro algae section at work. I stare at them every day. Good score though!
