Hi I’m wondering if anybody can identify these little critters that I’m finding in my refugium is it something I should worry about?

Amphipods- good guys and there are probably hundreds in there!
They eat algae and detritus and make a good food source for your fish.

Along with surface algae they also consume phytoplankton and small particle foods(filter feeder size). They are a little larger then copepods so a great food source for fish with that specific diet like the mandarin.
