I just returned from an agonizing 2 weeks away from the tank, and found these 3, orange & clear, 1/8 in, guys between the suction cup and the glass! :) .. my clownfish are regularly spawning in the tank and this is where the flow would take them - could these be 10 day old clowns, living on glass/ flow gunk? is that even possible? lol a couple pics show 2 brighter parts (white stripes?) …one pic looks like the middle guy might have antennae and legs… tiny shrimp? sorry so blurry! TIA!

Thank you!!! Could definitely be- it’s hard to tell with all the various lifecycle images.. these guys definitely appear to have 2 distinct peachy/ orange sections… i’ll see if i can find some more pics online! Thanks for the lead! :)
