What is this?

I always dip my corals and I heard clicking while doing it. What is this? A baby pistol shrimp? Mantis shrimp? Tiger shrimp…do they click?

Looks like a little pistol shrimp. I can't say the species for certain, so I'd put it in the sump and let it grow out a little so that it can be identified before moving it to the main tank. I hope that this helps!

It’s dead now. After dipping. And I don’t have a sump. Thank you.

Definitely a pistol shrimp. FFVII gun claw and all.

It had a friend and lots of other hitchhikers!

Agree on Pistol

The same thing that I have somehow found in my sump making a banging snapping sound ….
Sounds like rocks hitting glass every night about 1 hour after lights out

Agree on Pistol

And do you know what kind of worm this is?

Image fuzzy but appears to be a detritus worm which would have been harmless

Oh okay. And this? I found I few weeks ago after my NOPOX overdose? But I never got an answer? My tank is fine now. Thank you!

Looks like an Oenonid worm which eats snails and clams
