Tiny grey bug?

[mrcoffee2]

Hey guys,

I have a few of these tiny grey bugs crawling around on my snail. Can you ID friend or foe? The picture sucks I am sorry. They are very hard to see but you can see them skittering around

Could it be an amphipod? It has the shape, I just can't get a clear picture.. Sorry.

Does it look like this? Our amphipods will cuddle up to any snails on the glass for cover, so the behavior fits.

Amphipods - Copepods, I just call them bugs. We'll know what you mean.

They are free food for your fish. Encourage them!
