Frozen mysis shrimp alive?

[killerinstinct]

I was feeding my nems and clown fish mysis shrimp right now, I waited 20 minutes to turn on the wave maker. Came back and I found a frozen mysis shrimp alive??? Should I leave it in my tank?

Are you sure it wasn't an amphipod?

I’m 100% sure it is a mysis shrimp, didn’t get a picture of it and went straight under a rock.

You sure? Im not sure that is possible. Interested to see other people's responses.

No you didn’t. Not possible. It was a hitchhiker.

That’s not possible! They’ve been frozen in your freezer at 0 degrees or below and before that flash frozen even lower for a period of time. I’m telling you that it’s physically impossible for them to be alive. Many types of frozen food are gamma irradiated as well. It had to have been something else and if it was a mysis shrimp it wasn’t from a frozen cube.

What can it be? It was the same size as a mysis shrimp. It was white kinda see through with black intestines and black eyes??

Mysis shrimp can hitchhike into reefs. It definitely didn't come in from the cube, but it could have come in from elsewhere.

Copepod or amphipod!

Im thinking a gammarid or Mysid but pics will confirm
