New Inhabitants

Just picked up a leather on a piece of live rock. Noticed this morning about a hundred little white critters. Some look like baby shrimp. Some look like fleas. Can't get a picture to be clear tho. I thought maybe my peppermint shrimp had babies but have done some research and it seems more likely they are Copepods perhaps? Any thoughts

How could anything survive a dip?
Well at least you have it quarentined, right

Where does it say it was dipped or quarantined, lol

Generally, you wouldn't dip live rock because it kinda defeats the purpose of wanting it to be "LIVE" Maybe QT...

What you see is good copepods. They are a good thing. Also Google salt water flees, and you will get a name for those
, but those are good too. I just paid money to get more of these in my tank to feed me mandarin and copperband.
