What are these?

[Maridia]

I have a ton of these little shrimp creatures living in my sump/refugium. Are these bad? Or are they the so called "pods" that I hear so much about?

Yep look like pods there good you can also feed them to some of your fish

Are pods beneficial? Will they help keep water clean?
