Unknown Bug ID - Microscopic inages

[therootcause]

(Not my tank)

Seeking an ID for this. Larger than a copepod, visible to the naked eye. Black in color, moves more like a bug than a worm possibly using small hairs/vibrations. Came from an acro dominated tank. Wrasses eat them. Sorry I don’t know the magnification because I’m half science half cowboy.

Black bugs?

Black Bugs - An Acro keepers worst nightmare?

This is going to be a difficult post for me to write, bear with me. Last night after 3 days of research, discussion with other reefers, testing treatments under a microscope, and bringing myself to actually do it; I tore down my Acro tank. Not a hurt acro tank, but a beautiful growing acro tank...

I think Ostracod takes it! Looks to be correct. Thank you!
