I have noticed these little brown critters on the rocks... they seem to be grazing on the algae that is starting to grow on the rocks. It was very hard to capture because they are fast and hid in the rocks as soon as I go near it. I have attached a picture of one at 50x mag... yes I am bored and only have a tub of rocks to entertain myself.
Thanks

Amphipod.
