Weird swimmers at night

[Jr'sReef]

So as the title says, when the lights cut out I get these little weird swimmers. Probably the size of a comma like this

,

They wiggle to swim and are attracted to the light on my phone when I shine it on the tank. Very hard to get a photo but I’ll try if no one can tell me what they think it is from experience. Just wondering what I got going on. There’s hundreds of them swimming after lights out.

Tank is a 400ish mixed reef

Epitoke?

Look like these? I had some type of mysid in my tank for a couple days. Came out of nowhere.

Copepods?

Could be baby Peppermint shrimp.

What's on your invert stocklist? (CUC included)

I had a pair of cleaner skunk shrimp for about a year before they both died. I think a wrasse might have eaten them. That’s it for shrimp.

Sierra bravo that looks like it
