ID: Invert- Mysid or Mysis?

[rookie07]

I have had alot of these little shrimp looking inverts for a long time, a breeding population if you will.

Only two fish in the tank are clowns (Oc. & Perc.).

I guess they are mysid or mysis, but not sure.

Not sure what they are but theyre definetly not mysis. Mysis are freshwater shrimp.

Maybe a Grass Shrimp???

Thanks B&M

Not grass shrimp for sure. I have those as well.

These are approx. 2-4 mm which fits with mysid sizes. The larger ones often carry eggs, which also fits with Mysid. Mysid have been found thriving at salinity near 1.025, or 30ppt

All my info comes from here

Looks like typical krill to me.

They are to small to be krill, I think.
