Free food lol
They look alot like mysis shrimp. Have you added any macro algae to your tank in the last few months? I had a group of about 20 hatch out when I ordered from Garf.org. Holley
They aren't mysis like what you buy in the way of frozen food. Those are a freshwater variety.
However, there are small mysid type shrimp that most people have in their tanks - the picture confirms what I speculated earlier.
They're a good thing to have. They stay small like that - those are adult size, and they will reproduce. They are good to have in the tank and your fish can and will eat them. Your chromis was probably feeding on them.

Jenn, so does that freshwater variety have the ability to live in saltwater indefinitely??or will they die out over time??
The freshwater variety are sold as frozen fish food. They don't live in saltwater.
The ones that Mimi's Fish has are the saltwater variety that hitchhike in on coral/rock. They are distinctly different species but are somewhat similar in appearance.

+1 i harvest mysids with a syringe from my buddys coral trough to feed to my flaming prawn goby. he loves em and they are the perfect sized live food for him. ive noticed he comes out more since ive fed those to him as well.
