What are these bugs from Dip? How to proceed?

[Patrick Cox]

I am quarantining an Acro that i just purchased and after I dipped it in Coral RX, the following bugs were in the container. The larger one was still moving after a 5 minute dip. There were 3 or so of each type. I put the acro in QT so now I am wondering how long I should keep there and when I know it is safe to move to my DT. I assume i should dip again at some time interval to see if there are more.

Thanks for any advice.

First pic is an amphipod I believe. Harmless and good for your tank. Can't help with second pic

Can you say if this is NOT a redbug? That is my main concern. Thanks.

not red bug - amphipod and copepod.

Great news, thanks! (Wish I wouldn't have killed them with the dip.)
