Hello everyone,
I am having trouble with getting a positive identification on what appears to be an Isopod of some sort.

This is the second time they have appeared in the water column since I have upgraded aquarium sizes and added live sand. They resemble Cirolanid Isopods, but they are very active during daylight hours and do not appear to be parasitic.

The picture is of one that had seemed to lodge itself between some egg crate and the front glass panel, providing me with an oppurtunity to get a halfway decent photo. Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you!
