Megaherz Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 So lately i notice at night there are tons of little shrimp like bugs that come out when i turn my moon light on. They actually seem to hide when i come to the glass which is odd. They are way to small and fast to take a picture as i only have my camera on my phone, They are like skinny grey rolly pollys almost,any idea what they are and are they safe?. Thanks in advance.-Jamie- Link to comment
Muraki Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Sounds like Amphipods. Take a look at the sticky in the ultimate ID thread and see if the pictures match what you see. Link to comment

Yeah i already went through that thread,They look very similar but some differences, possibly another species in that family?. Link to comment
Benny314 Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 There are thousands of pod subspecies, all of them make for great free coral and fish food. Sign of a healthy tank. Link to comment
Megaherz Posted October 6, 2015 Author Share Posted October 6, 2015 Yeah i figured as much, they dont seem to be hurting anything. Thanks for the input guys. Link to comment
amphipod Posted October 6, 2015 Share Posted October 6, 2015 Sounds like a sphaeromatid, if that is the case it's no amphipod The rolly Polly description makes me think this There are thousands of amphipod species though, so without pictures it's hard to say. Link to comment
