I can not see the pic (at work server would not allow me) but sounds like this could be a misyd sfrimp, It is reef safe however if you planning to have a mandarin your concern is that mysid shrimp will eat copipods.

from the sites that xtreme sent me, i've ided them to be misyd shrimp. i'm only planning to have soft corals, 2 clowns and a shrimp in there. are they going to be a problem? and if they do become one, what eats them?

Go to Golds and talk to Albert or Dennis, they will hook u up. Look at the Vendors section of Canreef.

Fish and shrimp will eat them very quickly. Mysids are only threat to smaller pods.They are very cool to watch!

wow thanks x-treme. I was able to identify most of the things in my tank off that site. glad that everything i see in my tank has a little green thumbs up next to it on the site. such a relief haha. Also does anybody know where i can get a cheap ammonia, nitrite, nitrate and ph testers from? I'm in calgary. Thanks so much for your input guys!
