Looks like an amphipod or isopod. I have those all over my tank. Got those buggers from not dipping my coral from the last swap. :O Had so much that my tank was full of em. I bought a large mandarin to take care of them. :)

Rat bastards eat my blastos during the night, if the blastos so much as sneeze. They are satisfying to catch with turkey baster and feed to corals :bigsmile:
