I found theese little bug type things on a new frag I got. I can not take a pic because it is so small. They are about a cm long. It looks like a rolli polli bug (pill bug)

The only thing diffrent is that it is light grey
It rolls up into a ball if you take it out of the water.

Any one know what they are?

Rolli polli bugs are isopods, isopods live under water too. your picture isn't very good, so it could also be a chiton, does it have legs or a snail like foot?

it has snail like feet. I tried about 30 pics and could not zoom in any closer.

snail like foot, not feet, thats a chiton, they also have a leathery skirt if you can get a close enough look.
