they are more like a pill or sow bug or even a chiton.

montipora eating nudibranches or the acro eating flat worms, do they swim?

no they dont swim. They wont leave the rock. And they dont move fast, they are super slow.

looks like amphipods to me. The "cilia" are called swimmerettes (sp?) I believe.

Looks like an amphipod to me too but maybe this will help?

Great link.

Leaning towards a Harpacticoid copepod (third row down) and hoping not a Isopod (Sphaeromatidae)
