Monti black/grey bug - scope video and photo

Just got this frag today and just when I put it in coral rx dip I noticed two little guys on it.

The white sack are eggs. When I pressed my slide a bit to check if the thing is still alive it released them. It has been sitting in coralrx solution for good 25mins now and it is still not 100% dead.

No clue what it is, if it is bad or not, just wanted to share.

Looks like an amphipod to me...

It was 0.5mm big at most, and it wasn't transparent (the scope makes it look that way). It was hooked to the monty. Had to blow it 20-30 times to dislodge it from the coral.

It might as well be a harmless pod. Never easy to tell with these tiny creatures.
