I got a few heads of ricordea today. GORGEOUS but there are these bugs on the rock with it that look alot like those little sow bugs you find under rocks that roll up.
I think they are amphipods but they are really small but actually as big as a flea from a dog. I can't see any eyes on them but they have some big antanne. There are quite a few. Was wondering if this is common or if I am kinda in trouble now...

I'm not sure its gonna be a problem now. My Bicolor blenny has discovered the critters and is devouring them like a 5 year old on icecream and candy

The rocks the ricordea are on were covered with them. I broke up the rocks and they went everywhere. I even found a big nasty lookin sand colored thing that looked like a centipede.
Needless to say, I obliterated the centipede thing. It looked very mean but then I noticed another one on one of the rocks I put into the tank later. Those things are SMART it saw me coming and dodged back into its rock.

Probably bristleworms.
