I've been noticing these small white crawling things in my tanking thinking they were copepods. Threw them under the microscope and it still looks like a copepod BUT it looks like its attacking my kenya tree. I've started to feed alittle more and its a small system (5g) so the population has began to expand. My kenya tree has scar tissue up the "trunk" and been very shrivled up. I blew on it with a pipet a few times and saw ~10 of these guys run off. If someone could help me solve this I would greatly appreciate

it.
 
Interesting, all my other coral look great... Guess I will continue to play doctor with the kenya tree. Thanks for the help ;)
Munnid isopod. They're harmless. If the coral is deteriorating the isopods are just cleaning up the mess.
