Parasitic isopods?

[Froggieboy]

A while ago I got LR in my new 50 gallon. And these parasitic isopods came out of a bristle worm! Now I caught two offspring (yes sadly they multiplied). So maybe some identifaction of which species spefically, some tricks and tips. And oh yeah they can scavenge ass well sadly.

Springtails, most likely.

No, got some of those little fellas too. But I am leaning more towards ciranolid isopods.

The worm died shorly after, they literally popped right out of his body.
