I am always fascinated with all my microfauna from my kp Rock so I check out my tank after dark almost every night. Well last night I saw these on my zoas and also on a frogspawn. I’ve noticed no coral damage and also see these black bugs on the glass and rocks. Any help with ID is appreciated.

I ended up catching a few of the buggers and got a microscope image. They turned out to be ostracods thank the reefing gods lol
