Up close I think it’s some kind of pod. It has that digitised Pac-man movement through the water. I thought maybe it was a tiny shrimp.

Nice. I added to in the tank. I hope it survives but doesn’t look like it can breed with anything. There were three others that I picked out during the coral dip, but the iodine eventually did them in.
Yeah, adding back something you've already poisoned is not usually going to end well... I mean the tank will be fine but the critter may not.
Amphipods are tiny crustaceans... shrimp are also crustaceans.
