thanx! i think theres 2 possible matches

the amphipod and tanaidaceans..

 

[tiburone9162003]

the body it looks more like the tanaidaceans, but it has long antennas like the amphipods,so they probably amphipods..from the GSP rock,its bout 3" by 3" there were bout 10 of those, and most of then were already big,not sure how big they get but big enough to see then run across the tank lol

amphipods in the tank is quite the norm (if you didn't have any, that would be rare). They normally don't bother anything in the tank, and are food for those fish who can catch them. they are much more active at night.
