    I kept waiting for a shrimp to come out of the hole when I noticed an amphipod scurrying around :). Mostly good little fellas, never been a problem for me, although they will occasionally eat dying coral.

    FYI I don't know much about youtube videos, but you posted a mobile link, yet the mobile option isn't enabled on the video.

    The way you uploaded it makes it very difficult to view; but I was able to watch it once. They are just amphipods as mentioned. They make good fish food :)

    Just pods. They are good sign. A lot of weird things creep in the dark. I'm sure you will find some creatures.

    Fyi, I was able to watch it on my iPhone.
