Frag Hitchhikers - ID

[PigDaddyF15E]

Got some frags in today. After acclimation I dipped them in Coral RX. I noticed a hitchhiker swimming pretty fast between frags. Managed to separate it from the frags. I tried my best with the digital camera (white towel under clear plastic container and white LED light) but I'm at the limits of digital zoom and autofocus.

Pics below of the two I could get a pic of....thoughts?

#1 - I was thinking Amphipod?

#2 Much smaller. I was at the limits of digital camera zoom. Reminds me of a cricket.....

That’s ok lol. You probably do it will eventually have them in the tank. No big deal.
