Amphipods? Mysis?

If these are Mysis, they never get any bigger than what you see here.

not sure what they are

another type SP of shrimps, they are good/reef safe for sure

feeding on detritus, some micro algae and particles in the water current.

Those are mysis! I get them too in my refugiums. Do you use a substrate, mud/sand or Natural Sea Water?

just a few pieces of rock in refugium, bare bottom. 1-3" sand in display

I'm not sure if they are mysis, I think mysis get bigger, and have darker eyes. with a more dfined "shrimp" like formation. these always are quite small, little dragon like bodied things zipping around in the water column

Like I say it's shrimp which I don't member the name, but the main I bet every one will tell they aren't bad, and also they are good meal for you fish once they catch the return pump. I was feeding them separately with phytoplankton, but by some reason they disappear for a while now from my system, barely can see any speeding around :)

Mysis :) We have them in all tanks at my work (public aquarium).

Mysis come in various species and sizes. Lots of mysis on the reefs here in Miami. I have netted and brought then home. We have some that are larger and bluish in color that are found over the reef near the surface. Then there is a similar variety, like the ones you have there that are found on the actual reef swarming. They swim so fast that they are easily confused with tiny fish. I have the ones your showing in my refugium, and from examining them, they are not the wild ones I’ve caught either.

I believe this may be a sub-species discovered in aquariums around the world known as heteromysis hornimani. They describe the species as 6 mm max and swimming in a figure 8 pattern. I had this type of mysis in my tank until I treated with Interceptor to kill Red Bugs. If you have any interest I would pay a healthy amount to get a bag of algae with these guys inside. To me they are the "Holy Grail" of copedpods and are not yet available from growers.
