Who is my new friend?

[Narkain]

This little guy popped up.
Best seen around 55 second mark.

It is about 5mm in length.

If you pause at 56 seconds he definitely has eyes
Thoughts?



Thanks

I believe it is just a copepod.

I believe it is just a copepod.

Most copepod's have only one eye or long feelers/whiskers in the front.
This does not. No other dangly stringy bits that I can see either.

this is an Amphpod or another shrimp like animal like a possum shrimp, its hard to see with the resolution

 

[eggplantparrot]

mysis shrimp possibly.

I have seen them in my lfs chaeto tanks

I stay corrected. I call all these critters copepods, but as others pointed out, they are not all copepods. So ignore my answer.
