Tiny Little critter!

Hi everyone.

So my tank is about a month into cycling. All my readings are good, but I haven't put anything live in my tank. (other than rock and sand).

Today - I saw this little critter running around on the live rock I bought from the LFS weeks ago! He was almost transparent, and about 1mm in diameter at the absolute most. Kinda looked like a little spider, scurrying back and forth at epic speeds!

I'm not on drugs.

What could it be? Some kinda tiny crab?

 

Google Amphipod

I reckon thats what it was
harmless scavenger and a good thing to have in the tank

You're totally right Stevo.

I came home from work this evening, and fired up my lights - and like 5-6 of them went scurrying all around into the nooks and crannies. I'm guessing they're nocturnal, and that's why I've never noticed any of them?

You're awesomely attentive, and I really appreciate your help, man.. Kudos to you!
