ID: wavy wacky noninflatable tube man

[Versus]

I am trying to figure out the ID on these guys as I am not sure if they are bad or not... I put a few sea squirts in my fuge and tons of these guys came with. They tend to just stick their (3 legs maybe more at the base of them) on to something then stand up and wiggle slowly back and forth with their little arms/paddles out.

OH LESLIE?

I think they are skeleton shrimp.

Omgosh thanks thats exactly what they are.. I guess they arent as evil as they look? They kinda just look like they want to dance.

Bongo's right. Skeleton shrimp -- which are really caprellid amphipods -- are voracious predators but only to smaller critters.

I shoulda looped the first part and put some techno music BMM TSS BMM TSS.. So what do you think eats them? Id rather not have them eat up all my copepods.
