What Are These Little Guys?

Even with my wonderful Sea Vision perscription mask I still miss little things up close. I saw this little guy by accident... probably because of the bright orange color.

As I looked closer I saw what appear to be "babies"? At least they are clear, smaller versions of the orange "large" one. Then on another photo I noticed another one, this one a darker color but apparently the same species. BTW, he was maybe an eighth of an inch long.

Now Tom, I know some of us are pretty close friends, :partyman: but perhaps you should see your doctor about those little creepy crawlies instead of asking for identification here. It's nothing to be embarrassed about. :bootyshake:

Another great find, Tommy! This little guy is called a Neon Sea Flea, Podocerus cristatus. Aptly named, wouldn't you say?
