Bug ID?

[footbag]

I noticed two huge bugs in my tank. This is an old pic, but the bugs were about 1/3" long. Very big. I've asked before and was told it could be a cirrolanid ispod. It doesn't look like the pic of cirro iso's that I've looked at. If I had to describe it I would say it looks like a horned beatle. It has armor like a beatle and when it swims/flys it looks like a beatle. I cannot see its eyes, and that was how someone told me to ID a Cirro. Should I worry about it bothering my corals?
Could these be eating my zoanthids?

They are Cirolanid Isopods. They are not eating your Zoanthids. My guess is that they are beneficial detrivores.

So Guy, you would not view these as a predaceous species to fish?
I agree that they would not be eating the zoo's

Not if they're out under full lights on the glass.
The fish predators are normally only active at night and hide in the sandbed.

Thanks for the pic. Thats the best one I've seen so far. They must be cirro's. I haven't added any fish to that tank yet so I'm not sure if they'll go after the fish. Thanks for the info guys.
