Are these AEFW?

Ewwww....:hmm2:

I received my new Chalice frags today ( I was sooo excited!)and while dipping them I found these lil creepy crawlies. Are they what I think they are? are they the dreaded AEFW's?
I put them in my quarantine tank which is a tiny 2.5 gallon with the worlds smallest nano filter I use it because it's easy to do treatments and also water changes daily if I need to. *knocking on wood* I have never had these guys in my main tank so I'm not sure if my guess is correct. Can anyone confirm?

Definitely not AEFW, look like maybe sphaeromatid isopods "Sand Skaters"

So are these something I should be worried about or am I in the clear?

If they are indeed Sand skaters, these are considered "Reef Safe" from what I know.

I got some of those in my tank too...totally harmless for me so far. In fact, I think they clean the glass...lol. :thumbsup:
