Unsure as to what these are

[scottghs]

Hey guys and Gals
Recently, within the last 4 days these guys have started to multiply. At first I thought it was a good thing, but knowing my luck I thought I had better check. I searched the forums, but because I am still kind of new at this I can't tell if these are the bad Isopods or the good guys. Can you help me out with an ident please? Thanks!

Yeah, I read through those threads but I am still unable to make an identification. I was hoping someone a bit more experienced could help out.
I have no fish in the tank, some snails, come Scarlet Hermit Crabs, two sand-sifting starfish and a Brittle Starfish. None of these pods appear to be attatched to any of the other animals in the tank.

There just copods, natural fauna that come in on live rock. Great addition to any tank.
