Id bug help

I think this is an amphipod but not sure. Found it while dipping some coral I got. First pic it is right side up, then upside down, then it seemed to roll up. Anyone know what it is?

Looks like an isopod to me

Agreed with above, isopod. This one is harmless if I'm not mistaken, the harmful ones look like they have angry eyes and don't roll up into a ball like that one id doing in the last picture.
