    I think thats an Amphipod isnt it?

    Or could be a fully grown copepod, the ones in my tank look way different. I have some of these aswell, they are not so small.

    Amazing picture though

    400 gallon reef...holy moly :eek:

    yeah I was pretty sure copepods are white thingies. I sure hope they are, cause we have tons of them scooting around on my glass.
