Hello,

Today, I recently observed a bunch of small -1 to 3mm of what I would describe to be like tadpoles. They have reflective eyes, a long slender body tapering off to the end. No clear appendages seen; nor antennae. Are these amphipods? I have two percula clowns, a blue tang, yellow tang and had two cleaner shrimp... I lost one a day ago and haven't been able to find the body? Possibly in the anemone? Any ideas?
 
Yeah I don't think you are describing amphipods. Whatever they are, the clowns will take care of them eventually, I'm sure. :p
 
man i need some bugs like that !! mine look more like a cross between an ant and a praying mantis due to the long claws it has !! and the very small ones look like rolly pollies
