I just recently found some of these on my intake and on some rocks too. Does anybody know what they are or of they are bad? Thank you

Amphipods or copepods, little plankton like creatures that fish eat and usually are not a problem.

Thanks. I was wondering if that's what they were. I'm used to small copepods that you can barely see.

Yup those are definitely isopods or amphipods! Great to have in the tank! Free little CUC. I have heard they may eat Copepods, but I don't think it is a significant amount whatsoever, and overall they are a good addition.

Poppapod's don't stay around, but the babypods are the ones we normally see.
