Darting acrros my rock
I know the general rule of thumb, about trying to ask for an ID. However, I noticed recently, something darting, quiet quickly, across my rock, it was reddish orange. The only thing I can think it could be, and I'm hoping it isn't, is a Mantis Shrimp. It's about the size of Dipping Dot (only thing I could compare it too) and it also almost seems to jump like a flea. I'm not asking for a definite ID, I was more curious if anything, other than mantis shrimp can move that quickly.
Thanks

Probably an amphipod.

Tigger Pod?!
Probably not unless you added them, because they like cooler water, but they sure are cool.
