I was looking at one of my turbo snail today and noticed what looked like tiny shrimp swimming around and picking at the body of the snail they didn't seem to bother the snail at all does anyone know what it could be to small for a pic

Sounds like a copepod to me... They are tiny crustaceans that live in and on your live rock. They eat algae, plankton, and generally clean. They are a good thing - and they are regularly eaten by fish and other inverts.
