Anyone know what this is?

Recently started seeing copepods in my tank and these guys came with them. Tried to do research but didn’t find anything. Can anyone help me identify them?

+1 isopod
Should be munnid isopod to be exact. I find that they’re the fastest to get eaten by fish because they’re bigger than copepods and like to hang out on the glass. Free fish food.

I used to have those when I had no fish. They thrived. They are great tank inhabitants. Disappeared the day fish went back in. Probably the happiest day of my fish’ life.

I have three gallon coral only tank, just hoping they don't get eaten by them!
