Reef I'D Guide

[Newtron]

2 questions.

Is their a reef ID Guide so I don't ask the same question someone else did?

And what are these guys?

Looks like a shrimp / amphipod / copepods

Found them in my refugeeum

Where I recently put 5000 pods from algae barn and have been using plankton to feed them.

Didn't think they would get this big if that is what they are.

Will my Mandarin chow down on them anyway?

There are several ID forums here on R2R. The best hitchhiker guide is at Lionfish lair. You probably can find what you are looking for there.
