Can anyone ID this thing on the glass?
Is it a Copepod?

Up close it kind of looks like a pill bug & it swims around the tank upside down, going to different areas of the glass…

I’ve been seeing it for around 3 days now - it doesn’t hide in the rocks at all.

Any help or opinions would be appreciated 🙏
