Found this little guy that fell out of a mushroom frag while dipping with coral rx. What is it?

Hard to see from the picture but if it looks like a little bug with legs it is probably an amphipod. Not a concern if it is. I stock my reefs with them for feed and nutrient control. Here is a picture of one.

Looks like an amphipod to me. Nothing but beneficial. They make great members of your CUC and they make great snacks too.
