Are these good or bad? I first noticed them on my neon poly. It won't open and seems irritated. I just got it a week ago. These little guys have me worried as to what they are.

If so they are amphipods and are good. Eat detritus and algae. Reef safe. I don’t believe they should irritate your coral, but might if there is something there they are wanting to eat.

They don't look like that more like a small ball or shell kinda. I have pods in the tank and they don't look like this bug. They are white very small and round looking.
