A bunch just showed up last night with lights on. Haven’t done anything visibly bad to anything. They’re white, almost translucent, and they land on the glass/rocks, then dart around. Any ideas?

Looks like some type of amphipod that I've not seen before.

Your fish don't eat them?

It looks more like a harmless Isopod IMO.

The last link had some ISOs that looked similar, closest I’ve gotten. Thanks everyone!
And no, the fish (talbot and jewel damsel, and clown) has no interest, which was originally what was helping to throw me off the trail haha
