Tiny buglike creature from live rock

[kevman323]

Hi I am new to salt water tanks, and finally got the conditions right to get it started. Yesterday, I bought 2 small Pieces of live rock, and two hermit crabs. This morning, I spotted a small creature that seems to have come out of the live rock. We think it might be a large amphipod. It is about a half a centimeter long, and stays just under the surface of my crushed coral substrate. It is whitish clearish colored, and has a bunch of legs that seem to be in constant motion. It also has some antenna-like things coming from its head

Here are some pictures:




If you have any idea of what it might be, please reply
thanks
