I unleashed something In my tank ... I think :(

So I bought some Red Algae at the LFS today for my fish (Tang Heaven...) Anyways I took some of my tank water out and dipped it in there and tried to remove anything nasty and such, when I plopped it into the tank, two little creatures came out of it... both the same looking, I tried to grab my camera in time and they where already gone :S...

Both looked clear/white almost like a millapeed when its walking.... and I wanna say maybe 1/8th an inch big?...

:S wtf can they be!?! Sorry for no picture...

 

not sure maybe some sort of crab or worm or snail?

 

I dunno... It skurried around like a shrimp... swam like one too :S. It had two longer antenas!

 

Amphipod?

 

maybe baby bristleworm

 

Thats it!!!

 

Congrats that's a good thing than. Hopefully this means they are breeding in the macro you got. Most fish will munch on those little guys.

 

yay amphipod. their good.

 

My achilles chased the little guys pretty good ... Hopefully they found a good hiding spot... Their algae home will so be gone in an hour or two... my tangs eat that up like its nothing.

 

There could be more in your tank than you know,alot of times when i move a rock or something,they will scatter like cockroaches,i never knowingly put them in there,i believe they hitched a ride on live rock i bought.
