I was cleaning my aquarium when all of a sudden I feel something bite me, like a faint sting not to painful but enough to be noticeable, I then took my arm out and found this on my arm?
Any idea what they are pest or friend ?

from up close view they look like small shrimp unlike the regular bugs in the aquarium

Some more pics

I found this copepod looking inhabitants in my tank, except they swim different and bite and leave marks almost like mosquitos? Can anyone id and if so how do I get rid of them in a Reeftank ?
