Is this thing a Isopod or a Chiton? There are no distinct legs which I would expect from an Isopod, but then again it is extremely tiny. My understanding is that Chiton's generally have snail like bottom, but it doesn't seem snail-ish to me. Barely move and they don't "swim". They just seem to appear occasionally on a rock or on the side of the container I'm curing my rock in. The interesting part is that some of the seem to be committing suicide and drying up on the side of the container.
I am leaning towards a Chiton.
Sorry about the quality of the photos, they are off my phone. Hopefully you can make it out. I shared it on Google photos for full resolution.
