What are these bugs in my tank...Friend or Foe or Enemy pests

[tiflyche]

I am new to reefing and have tried to identify every hitchhiker in my tank.

I know I have copeopods that have bloomed, but I just noticed these little guys last night. I used to have 2 pepermint shrimp in the tank but I just recently removed them. Could one of these be a fry???

I see 3 to 4 differnt inverts in the image. All are less than 1cm in length. They moved in the rockwork tunnels without swimming.

Hard to tell from the pictures, but possibly Gammarus amphipods.

Yep.

Thanks for the ID. I was not sure what these were since they were all different colors, not just a variety of one color. I was really afraid I would have an outbreak of peppermint/camel shrimp running a muck in my tank
