What Are These? (Bugs)

Found in the food dish crawling around (left in the picture), can someone identify these? I haven't seen them on the crabs, but they don't look like any other bugs I am aware of.
One or hopefully two Clypeatus
Goodbye my little E. See you soon.
Bye Fred. You lasted almost 4 years with me. Hope you're with my E now! See you soon Reeba as well. I can't believe I lost you only after a month.

I have no clue, but they look rather large. For context/scale, how big is the dish in the picture?
3 PPs: Maxwell (small), Mitchelle (medium/small), Kendall (medium/large)
also have 10gal freshwater fishtank w/ neon tetras, pygmy cories, and nerite snails

They are actually really small. For comparison, they are smaller than a newborn isopod

I can't actually see where the bugs are in your photo.
