Found this in my filter sock today. Looks like a shrimp. Rings around the rear.

Need an image in water. If you removed the unknown, no harm no foul.

I've got this guy lurking in hole. Plant like tentacles come in and out of hole sometimes and sometimes looks like a brown fuzzy critter.

I would assume good guy but I'm a noob so can you confirm for me?

 

[Tahoe61]

Yes a harmless filter feeder.

What you're seeing is a feeding response with tentacles out.

I am pretty confident in this ID.

A cool hitch-hiker for sure.

Agree it's a cuke.

I just got four 1/2 Berghia and put them in my aquarium. I was tired of kalk paste and melting them with a Majano Wand. Typical infestation. The more i upset them the more i got. The Berghia are eating the aiptasia and I have hopes of success in controlling them.

I have a 90+ gallon dt with about 24 gallon sump. Just finishing week 2 of Red Sea Mature program. I added about 5 turbos and 4 hermies last week and this afternoon my daughter gave me news. I've got these tiny microscopic things all over tank. They are moving and described to me as like tadpoles or lice eggs. Any ideas? No livestock yet besides small cuc.
