The other night i seen a swarm of these in my tank. I have no idea what it is. I dont have any fish in my tank anymore. I had 3 damsels in my tank but returned them to my lfs so i could get new fish since they tend to kill every fish ive put in there. I suck some of these unknown critters out with my turkey baster and put them in a glass jar so i could take a pic and post it
 
Mysiid shrimp it looks like. Basically the saltwater version of mysis.
 
Well i could understand if it was just one of them but there was hundreds of them
 
Yes. You probably had a few hitch hike and then they reproduced. It's a sign of a healthy tank.
