Default What bug is this?
Last night I picked up a snail that was on my frag. While lifting it up I saw 3 bugs run around super fast. I took a pic quickly. It's the orangey bug on the rim of the plug and under the rim in the 2nd pic.

Hard to tell. Looks like an amphipod.

If it has 12 legs, some antennae and some rear gear, it's an isopod
Long and thin little guy. Fish nummies

Solutions are easy. The real difficulty lies in discovering the problem.

a fast flatworm is one moving fast enough to clue you in to the fact it's alive. Def not a flatworm.

Flatworms mosey along at a snail's pace
Fast would indicate pods
From what I could see in your second pic, it looks like the pic I posted
