Strang critters caught in filter floss

[blasterx]

Can anybody tell me what these things are, I found three caught in the mesh and this was the largest. It's not moving so I think it is dead.

Looks like some type of pod.

The other two were moving, tiny almost like little horrible shrimps from **** LOL
They have what almost look like legs and a long (compared to their size) projectile that comes out the front (or the back)

I had to zoom in, that's a white sheet of paper its on. Size 1 to 2 mm

Amphipod... I think.

Hard to tell with the glare, but if they look like a tiny shrimp then it's an amphipod. If they look like a little potato bug (or sow bug, depending on what you call them), then it's an isopod.

Amphipod = good.
Isopod = ?? (some are OK. others are not.)
