Just before I got ready to go to bed my tank light had shut off and about 15 minutes later I saw something move on my live rock. I rushed to turn on the light and about 4 or 5 of these little flea looking bugs scattered on my live rock! I was somewhat weirded out because I have no Idea what they are, perhaps a type of amphipod?
They're too big to be red mites that eat SPS coral, and they are small and grey-ish can BOLT it across the sand and live rock. Does anyone know what these things are???
HELP ME >....<
I haven't seen any harm done by them either.

Harmless little isopod, like amphipods and copepods...good little rock dwellers.
