Is this a copepod

I’m just curious if this little critter is a copepod

Kinda hard to tell from photo but it does look like it!

Here is the photo blown up some. I was going to try and catch it but by the time I got my net it was gone.

Yes definitely a pod!

I second it being a pod.

Looks like a Gammarid Amphipod from the pic.

Thanks for the help identifying it. I added a bottle of pods from the lfs I bought about 2 months back. I have only seen what I thought was a pod one other time crawling on a piece of live rock. I have even spied on the tank at night looking for some. So this is a good sign that they are in there.

Oh there in their. Unless you have something eating them be prepared to have tons, especially if you have a refugium!!

Is there such thing as too many copepods?

I don't think so but if you have the problem you know what to do!
