    I found these things crawling around my live rock yesterday. And there was a tiny shrimp thing all under my zoa. It was moving quick! But anyway, what is this? Its the brown thing in the center of the picture. It looks like a tiny centipede about 1/4" long with a bunch of legs.

    It does kinda look like those amphipods. Only super tiny! And you say they are harmless? That's good to know. Thanks!
