Copepods?

[ItsAName]

So I was gluing a zoa to a rock and when I was done found the thing with the white background on my towel. Also, earlier I found that other thing in my chaeto. I guess they are copepods but aren't they big?

Pods come in all shapes and sizes.

Amphipods. Eat detritus, algae and left-over fish food. Also, their free fish food! My clown's love 'em!

+1 - the one on the white background is an amphipod, but I don't think that the one in the chaeto is ... perhaps @KJ will have seen its like . . .

The obligatory, where did it come from!?

They can hitch in on just about anything - frag plug, liverock, Chaetomorpha . . .

Looks like the butt end of a Bristle worm. Those are good too, but just don’t pick them up! LOL

It’s not a copepod, usually the bugs you find in Jado are amphipods along with bristle worms

Typo. I meant to say The bugs that you usually find in Chaeto are Amphipods.
