little bug id if possible

tech1 · 06-17-2003, 08:44 AM

hello all. There is a tiny grey bug crawling over the live rock in my sump. Looks like it has quite a few legs but crawls very easily. Anyone have an idea what this might be? Fairly narrow in width.

thanks

Probably a copepod a have a good number in my Sump as well!!!

I wouldn't worry about it you could always scoop the critters up and use them for food!!!

sounds like an amphipod..does the tail end sorta curl up under it?

copepods are the tiny ones which is why i suspect its and amphipod instead.

either way-its a good thing
