Just spotted these next to daisy polyps in our talk. About 1-2mm in size with antennae. Here's a pic and video. Maybe a copepod? 20231002_112613.png

Looks like an amphipod.
 
Aye, i agree with @Cell . It's an amphipod allright! And they are good for your reef so don't worry about them! Nice job capturing one with your camera btw, I have never been this lucky (or skilled!)
 
I’m actually here inquiring about the same topic, I’ve just never been lucky enough to catch one on camera! All the research I have managed to find seem to point towards some type of isopod so I’m curious to see what more experienced eyes have to say about it!

Munnid isopod
