What is this pod-like creature?

[Filipabp]

I've got several around the tank, they come with a 3-5mm body and then what lools like three "legs" from one end. They appear active at night in sand etc..

I haven't seen anything like these before, anybody recognize them?

Hard to say from the pic.

I've circled it, perhaps that makes it easier to spot.. the shape is quite peculiar

That a really hard pic to see any type of details and marking all I can see is a rough shape. It's some sort of isopod although I am unsure of which

+1. Looks like a sphaeromatid isopod. Good scavenger.

sphaeromatid

Looks just right, awesome - and well done!
I haven't had any fish deaths since I got the tank, so I figured it probably wasn't predatory/parasitic. Thanks!

There u go 1 point towards diversity.

Looks like an isopod but pic very dark to confirm. Always best to take pics under white lighting
