Spotted new unidentified critter

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?

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 would've guessed some type of isopod but, either way, likely beneficial.

It's a munnid isopod.
Amphipods have the same curved body shape as shrimp. Isopods are flat and symmetrical.

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!
