I went to a frag sale today and I just got back and when I was putting the frags in a contanier I keep hearing splashing and the coral pug moving I thought that was odd because I did not buy any fish.

So under closer scrutiny I saw a very small critter moving around as small as a mysis shrimp Could that thing be that strong and what should I do with it? Thanks in advance

I have a symbiotic pistol shrimp living in one SPS, reef safe like crabs

Same as this one:

Can you try and get a picture?

I was worried about introducing mantis or pistol shrimp to my 9 gallon cube since I have 3 Sexy Shrimp.

So I removed each frag plug sprayed them with FW over a separate bucket with SW I did not see the little shrimp this time. Not sure if got sucked up into the little pump I had in the container. I am hoping that he does not get into my tank.

Thanks for all of the help. I guess I will see how it goes.

Well if it's a symbiotic shrimp, you just killed something helpfull, like SPS crabs.
They do the cleanup in those little tree

Yeah not sure what it was but it was very strong moving a frag plug and making a splashing sound like a fish in 1/2 of water. Considering how small it was I thought it was a mantis shrimp.
