Probably just some amphipods or some sort of pod, they are normal, nothing to worry about.

yup, just a pod more than likely. The population of them will change with time especially if your tank is newer.

I agree too!

look at this site for macroshots of some isopods from Indonesian waters:

Consider your tank somewhat healthy when you have a few bugs crawling around.
