I tried posting a video here but as you know it isn't an option without using YouTube. I posted it on Reef2Reef Facebook page. Can someone take a look and tell me what the video shows swimming around my flashlight while the lights are out ?

They look like Mysis to me. While interesting I doubt they are harmful as are the other most likely suspects. :)

They look lime copepods. If they are, they are normal and well desired in a tank

Almost any fish that swims would appreciate stumbling onto a pod of those!

Clowns might be clumsy about catching them, but I'm sure they'd have fun trying. Fairy wrasses or anthias would make short work of 'em.
