    What picture of a mysis are you using as reference?

    How deep is the intake on your canister?

    If you had shrimp spawn in your tank then the fry could have been sucked into the filter.

    The link gave a 404 not found error.

    Is it possible you added live rock that had the larvae on it?

    I never found live larvae in my canister. They tend to get released at dawnish and swim up to the surface. In no time of hitting the filter, they usually get smashed so there are little remains.

    How big are we talking?

    Mysis can hitch in on anything, same way amphipods, Isopods and Copepods do.
