New here.. tank is about 7 months, have some torches, fireworks, hammers, and xenia. Tank is in recovery stage from velvet that wiped out all fish but 2 which are in copper QT. Found some aiptasia on larger firework frag and took it out to grab it off and super glue. These tiny quick, shrimp looking things were running around on the frag. Pulled them off and took pics. No clue what they may be.

Amphipod. These "pods" are beneficial scavengers and detritivores and are larger than the more common copepods.
