Thanks Kathy, I will look to see if I can find any other species that look like these. The timing was about perfect with the shrimp. I had never seen these in my sump until now. I haven't added live rock to the sump in over a year. Has anyone seen Luis?

Kathy and Netra are keen observers  These are indeed mysid shrimps. They are very common among rockwork and in sumps.Hard to catch though! They could perhaps provide an interesting live food,if they could be cultured like A.bahia.I am not aware of anybody trying it.This could be an interesting project!

Sorry for posting the wrong species. I was thinking of what Kathy said about hitch hikers in the live rocks in the sump. I haven't added live rock to the sump but i forgot about the coral I traded and replaced those rocks with new rock in the tank. Bummer on the cleaner shrimp, but it's cool to have another to work with. Thanks for all your help.

I was wondering if those could hermit crab larvae? Definitely need an expert to weigh in though. (oops - I see they already did!)
