Little bugs on live rock?

[user420]

The tank is less then 2 weeks and today I seen little bugs running around the rocks.
GOOD OR BAD?

They are likely copepods and are a very good thing. No worries.

Hey thanks thats good to hear.
I have googled picture of them and the ones in my tank seem to be a little different. They are kinda long with alot of legs like a centipede brown in color and they are pretty easy to see.
Thanks

Sounds more like amphipods and they are still good.

Thanks
I googled both its for sure not bristleworms, it doesnt look really look like anything i find find. They are little and it kind of looks like they walk on their butts so im leaning more towards amphipods then.
Anyone have a picture of these in your tank?
Thanks
