Are these mantis shrimp?

[Abiathar]

Wondering if anybody could tell me if the inverts in these pics are mantis shrimp. I have found a few molts from these and also found quite a few live and was able to finally catch some.

Look like amphipods. Nothing to worry about.

Ya they look like pods. I have the same things in my tank. They run around the bottom at night

Correct those are pods, nothing to worry about they are beneficial to the tank and will eventually become a nice lunch to one of your fish.
