Question too small for pictures?

Does anyone know what kind of creature this is? It looks a little like a brine shrimp the way it curls its back end under (and it really scampers fast all over on the rocks), about brine shrimp size and shape etc., but it looks like it might have arms similar to misis shrimp. There are hundreds of them running all over my LR and they are brown, or tan, or white, or clear.

They are very tiny. Will anything eat them?

If they're copepods or amphipods, everything will eat them very happily.

Yes! Thanks that amphipod better picture hits it right on. I'm so glad they're not going to get bigger.
