Isopod...or something else?

Found 3 swimming all over my tank like crazy yesterday. Thought they were some sort of baby fish and scoop them out to a jar.
Help ID please.

Parasitic isopod. Catch them asap. As a rule of thumb if they have big black eyes and swim, they are bad.

Thank you!! Good thing I was able to catch all I saw. Interesting thing is that all 3 came out at the same time to swim.
How could have they make it into the tank? I have only 4 fish that went through TTM and 2 weeks of QT. The live rock has been in the tank for about 5 weeks now.

They came in on the liverock. Observe the tank a few hrs after light go off to see if there are more.

It was cute while I thought it was a baby shrimp. It took me some convincing to get him to pose still

Oh yes you did already sir!! Just that I got excited too quick thinking I had something I needed to take care of quick in my hands and jump the gun. As soon as I started to get id's I went for your link and found my "baby fish" in it.

Thanks!
