Worm bug thing

This guy came in on a new coral. Any ideas?

Amphipod. Harmless, good algae grazers and essential part of reefs.

Yep, Amphipod. Good detritivore and food for fish like wrasses and mandarins.

Thanks for the ID. A shame it didn't make it then!

Oh I'm sure you've got dozens. They're nocturnal so sometimes hard to catch.
