is this another kind of copepod?

Sorry for the blurry video but these are hard to film and pretty small. I see them at night on the glass and they hangout with the copepods. Are they just another type of copepod?

Chitons don't move like that.

Videos only work on the computer and my only photo is a screenshot from the video so it is poor quality. They are wide pill shaped and pretty flat. They are also fast

Any idea what it is? It seems to be eating the same film on the glass as the copepods

Maybe a type of ostracod?

I actually was browsing other forums and learned of an isopod called sandskater- I feel like this may be one. It is fast and when It was scares of me, it released off the glass and floated to the bottom - exactly as someone else described it. I was wrong about chiton though so if anyone can give me an opinion about the new guess lol
