Right at the beginning of the vid, you can just see a lil guy crawling around on the rock (upper left area).

This is a new setup, just live rock, hermits and snails, been going for about a month now.

Thanks!

That's an amphipod. Great snack for fish. Will create a decent population in your tank. My holder tank is full of them.

Thanks! I'm still learning all the little things that could be growing in there :)

That's exactly what they look like (I've seen a few of them now in that piece of rock)

They're pretty good tank members. Mine reproduce like crazy and eat the pellet food I try to feed to the rest of the tank.

It's fun seeing all the new life spring up, and then figuring out what it all is :)
