Does this look like an amphipod on my zoa frag there were probably 15 little guys zipping around the frag and sand near it

Yeah I can do that I will try and get a better shot realized after I posted it that there was no way to actually Id anything. Here they are circled but I will work on getting a better picture

Personally, it looks more like an Amphipod (too large to be a Copepod and too curved to be a Munnid isopod). These are still beneficial scavengers and serve as live food.
Yes I think your right, most certainly
