hopefully it isnt isopods!. i managed to catch something last night, it was white and stuck to my glass, down in my crushed coral. this morning i also caught something white on my glass, not tosure if it was a snail or had a slater like shell (it was early morning) but i didnt wanna risk it so i got him ok. heres a few pics

Now that does look like an isopod. Can you get a picture of it from the top showing its eyes?
