Oh yuck. Hard to see everything in pic. A couple look like harmless amphipods. In upper left is a "spider" though. Did you buy zoanthids i am guessing?

I would be very careful(ie i wouldnt) about putting them in aquarium if you have other zoas. That spider looking thing in upper left is almost certainly a zoa spider. They can bury themselves in slime on zoa and even burrow completely inside polyps. This makes them very difficult to eradicate with dips.
 
Oh great. I only had 2 other zoas but purchased 4 from them. And placed them in the tank after 1 hour dip. I will keep a close eye on them. Thanks for the information
 
Very hard to see on my phone... Are they white? Could that be nudibranch? Hopefully someone with a BIG screen can give you a positive ID.

The one i am referring to is definetely a "spider"....and almost certainly a zoanthid eating spider if it was the n zoas.

Yes, I see the spider now... But those white things don't look like pods to me. This just looks like a mess of bad news all around. So sorry, OP!
