I dipped before placing and had lots of pods fall off. i did have one i have never seen before, it was really fast and almost looked like it had "arms" like a mantis Shrimp. i dont worry about them much, but is that what you are talking about? i cant see the original pic posted. it was about 5mm In length and pod brown.

They are tiger pods

wrasses and mandarins love them

no no fragalot, those are just amphipods. some of them have big arms out front and I think those are the males.
