    I think. I recently moved a powerhead from one tank to another and these two came crawling out (as did one of my brittle stars who was apparently living inside).

    Well, they're both, anphipods or munnid isopods, good for your tank, correct?

    I have both in mine, so it would be nice to know if any of them would cause problems later. So far they're tiny, but I know they can get big with time.
