are these pods?

I haven't really looked around my tank after the lights go out very much but tonight i got home from work and decided to have a peek. Anyway, I went and started looking around with a flashlight and on one of my bigger pieces of rock I noticed 10 or 20 little centipede looking things...they were only about 1 centimeter long at the most, and some were much smaller. They were just scurrying around the rock, going in and out of different holes in the rock, and crawling all over my bubble coral. Are these pods?

I third the motion! Sounds more like Bristleworms than anything...

Looks like the pod picture. Should have described them like ants instead of centipedes i guess

a definite plus. a natural, live food for many fish and inverts. give them a pinch or two a week of some flake food, and if you have any green algae in your tank let it grow somewhere so that they can breed in it. they love it.

I second mike here. Bristle worms don't scurry too fast like amphipods do.
