Amphipods.
These little crustaceans, usually of the genus Gammarus, are harmless algal grazers that are the primary food for many animals including mandarins and six line wrasses. Amphipods reproduce easily, living in patches of hair algae where they brood their young. They are a important part of the micro life in reef tanks and large populations can have a dramatic effect on the growth of film and hair

Graham - Outstanding suggestion. I believe Amphipods are an excellent topic!

I don't know if they're really considered a "bug" but you might want to do Medusa Worms. They are really interesting, and I saw a really cool one while I was in Orlando at Sea World's Tropical Reef Exhibit.
