Did this come out of my tank?

So I was changing filter socks and grabbed a bucket to put them in not paying attention to see if anything was in the bucket. Took the socks to the sink and noticed something moving in the bottom of the bucket. Sorry for bad pic but this thing is tiny. Can someone please help me id?

Yup, sure did! It's an amphipod. Good critter to have. I end up with about 50 of them in my filter socks every night.

Glad to help. Think of them as one of the smaller members of your CuC and a quality midnight snack for your fish.
