    i think thats a blood/fire shrimp.

    i also think that the hitchhiker zoo is a wham'n watermelon or an eagle eye.

    they both look very similar, and they might actually be the same thing. lol

    This looks to me like a Cyanobacteria, It is either red or very dark green it looks black. It is more often known as red slime algae, because it is more commonly seen red in color. It is also often mistaken and treated as algae, when in fact it is a bacteria.
