hitchhiker on Hermit

[puffypoogle]

Found this hitchhiker on hermit crab (crab was loaned to put in tank until live rock arrived). It is clear has antennae on front and small antennae looking things on back. Looks like a mini clear ant. Tried to attach picture from internet of what it looks like. Just don't want a parasite.

Help getting an error uploading picture.
Thanks :alice

It was definitely a pod of some sort. Check out this link and you'll see a good variety of hitchickers.

probably a pod, fish love them. Shouldn't be a problem unless theres nothing to control them and they keep breeding to plague proportions.
