CRAZY looking hitchhiker...

okay...i feel that i am relatively familiar with the common saltwater hitchhikers..but what i saw tonight has me stumped..i wish i could just post a picture but as soon as i turned the lights on it was right back in the rocks! So here goes my description..

first picture a 1cm long ghost shrimp..put two long tentacles on the front..then the little "mini legs" that shrimp have along their tail..replace them with longer regular legs..this little guy crawled along the rockwork on his side..

any ideas?

 

A very large pod???? lol not sure.

 

no this was not a pod..it was almost alien looking..it had a shrimp style "tail"...i'm searching everywhere and I can't find anything..

 

Have you tried looking here http://www.3reef.com/forums/id/i-d-...od-photos-we-can-use-please-submit-60769.html

 

okay maybe it was a type of amphipod? they somewhat resemble shrimp..

 

yes i have looked through all of them!

 

isopod?

 

Could it be some type of saron shrimp?

 

Hmmm with out a pick im not sure but im no expert by all means lol. Iv seen some large pots in my tank that freaked me out when i picked a rock up and they run off haha.

 

okay i think it was just a HUGGGEE amphipod..it isnt wide enough to be an isopod..it's very narrow..i just turned the lights on for a couple seconds and saw 4 more scurry off to their holes..
