I brought home my first corals this weekend and with them, a Hitchhiker. It has two anteannas about twice its size. It is probably 1cm long. It is a tanish color. Luckily it is stuck under a plastic container which is sheltering my GSPs. Ill post picks later

Ok i found out that its an amphipod but are they dangerous?

They eat algae. Not dangerous. Are great snacks for fishies. A healthy tank will have hundreds of them. You should only see them at night mostly.

A 10g tank with hundrads?!!

LOL, well maybe not in that small of a tank, but you'd be amazed at how many can survive in it.
