Yeah, I think that might be what it is. I wish it was a peppermint though.
Thanks for the advice! I love the live rock, just the only thing I hate about it is the bristle worms. It could have ended badly because I did touch one when picking up a rock. So gross! I got 2, and I know that there is one decent-sized left and one baby, but I hope I can get them.
Yeah the zoom and coloring got me.
That's funny because I found one in my tank today as well. They can reproduce asexually, so I am debating whether I want to get rid of it or not, just one is all I have seen.
Looks lile an amphipod. Part of a normal clean up crew lile pods that hitch hike. this angle im but pretty sure. Another would be great.Anyone know what this is? Looks like a tiny shrimp to me, but I don't know. Maybe a brine shrimp? It looks dead, but it's not.

Lol you beat me to it. But the comments are out of order and didnt see your reply. Not sure if it is the site or my phone browser.
Cool update! Glad to hear it's coming along with lots of life! And oh no! Bristle worms aren't a pleasant sight imo, especially when you have soup after seeing one lol.Just a quick update today.
Since putting in the live rock, I have found 14 species and counting of stuff in my tank. My most recent addition to the things that I have found, is a small feather duster! He has a small shell type thing, and just recently he came out if it! He must like it here since he decided it was time to come out of his shell!! He is now one of my favorite things in the tank!
I found some more micro brittle stars last night, and then when I woke up, I saw 1, but then when the lights turned on, I haven't seen one since. I should be expecting to see some soon right, because they are nocturnal?
Ah, the bristle worms. Last night I ate soup, right after the traumatic experiences of removing some from the tank, and oh god, I struggled to eat it. I just pictured a worm just chilling at the bottom of the bowl, waiting for me to scoop it up.
I know that there is one pinkish one left in the tank, but I haven't seen it since last afternoon, as long as I don't see it, I am fine with it, but boy if I see it, it is coming right out.
It's kind of funny how I like the brittle stars, because the arms of them look like little bristle worms, but who knows. That just how I am, lol.
Looks exactly like a trochus snail now that you say it! It has the stripes on it's shell. They get about 3 inches right? Do you think that he will be fine in a 15g? I feel like I have seen a couple of them now.
Yes, trochous snails are one of the best snails you can have. They can flip themselves over usually with no help and can also reproduce sometimes, meaning that if one were to die, you don't need to buy more. Imo, they are much better than astreas snails.
Cool! Then I got a few for free!
