So i dipped my goni in some Melafix Coral Dip and these two things came out. I don't think they are copepods because they are at least twice the size of the ones I see in my tank. Any clue what it is? They look like little shrimps and but I really am unsure whether or not they are copeods. Also, the strangest thing is that the goni did not care when I took it out of the water. Its already retracted a litte bit since its night but it did not retract any further even after shaking it around in the dip. However it closed a little when placed back into the tank.

Amphipods
 
Yes, amphipods are good. But they do hunt copepods and it only two of them anyways.
