Salt Water pill bugs

Okay IN the QT tank with the oysters There are little brownish black bugs that look like millipeds about 1/4 in (about 7 or 8 mm) they put me mind of pill bugs. They are long and skinny, and when swimming they look like their curved when they swim. Any Idea what they are?

amphipods would be my guess. There are lots of different kind of "pods" but from your description they are good ones and i've had them come on corals and live rock several times. Your fish will love them. Check this site for more details.
