the way they are always curled over kinda creeps me out. not a huge fan of all these crawly bugs that are showing up here at about the 8 month mark.

dark and blurry is what i thought to. was hoping that it was something super common and almost anyone with experience could id. they have wars with my little brittle stars and wasnt sure how safe or even what they are. i cant find my memory card so a better picture is likely out of the question. the video on the other hand was much better than the pic.

Scientific name: Americamysis bahia
Ecology: Mysids are small shrimp-like crustaceans found primarily in the Gulf of Mexico and the eastern coast of Florida. They commonly occur at salinities above 15-ppt and are found in greatest abundance at salinities near 30-ppt.

Amphipod of some sort. They can get as big as you say. The amphipods on the beach down the block from me get over an inch.
