White flea like bug all over rock and corals.

Are these good or bad? I first noticed them on my neon poly. It won't open and seems irritated. I just got it a week ago. These little guys have me worried as to what they are.

Do they look like this?

If so they are amphipods and are good. Eat detritus and algae. Reef safe. I don’t believe they should irritate your coral, but might if there is something there they are wanting to eat.

They don't look like that more like a small ball or shell kinda. I have pods in the tank and they don't look like this bug. They are white very small and round looking.

Possibly ostracods?
