Amphipod?

Really tiny... found in the breeding tank for Berghia Nudibranch.

Well, that's bad news in that tank... they'll snack on the eggs and baby nudibranch.

Not always but at times. They focus believe it or not more on copepods and their eggs. They are good at controlling brown algae and are usually scavengers, although some are predators of smaller crustaceans.

Might be time to throw a fish in there to keep the population in check... the trick is finding one that won't go after the nudi's as well. Might have to do a tear down on that tank and start fresh... the adults and the eggs are in isolated containers at the moment until this is handled.
