I've been finding these little shrimp looking guys in the filter sock lately. At first glance i thought they could be clown babies because of the color. But I'm pretty sure they're some sort of copepod, right? Or baby amphipod? They kind of twitch around sometimes in the container too...

If they are in your sock, they should be everywhere in your system, nothing bad, just free CUC and live food, signs of a healthy system

Ya they're tiny, much smaller than the mysis I feed. I usually see a good hundred or so, sometimes a lot more
