Found this guy hitchhiking on a baby snail. The snail is probably ~2mm, and this guy is like, 1/8th that!

Is that a baby mussel?!? Very cool! Hopefully reef safe!

The little guy with the legs? Is that a mussel? Are they... leggy like that?

Ostracod aka seed shrimp. Fairly common reef tank hitchhiker, though not usually literally hitchhiking on a snail

Whatever it is would be eaten by my hawkish in my tank. Nice shot, how did you take the video?
