Are These Guys OK?

[DHill6]

looks to be an outbreak of these guys. They aren’t eating the SPS. They move pretty good, all over the glass.

I can't make out the pics. Not sure if there stomatella or ghost flat worms. Sorry, if you can get better pics post them.

If they are running really fast probably Gammarid Amphipods. Do they look like this:

Copepods, amphipods, maybe a stomatella or flatworm? Can't tell which little white thing you're asking about in the pics. Kinda hard to make out what we're looking at. How fast are they moving? How big?

Absolutely awesome acans there!

No, they look elongated, small,seem to stay on glass.

It’s hard to get a picture of them. They have a split tail and seem to be eating off the glass.

No, they kind of look like Amphiscolops. They're so small.

They aren’t Gammarid Amphipods if they are on the glass. Do they have legs? How big are they?

After watching them closely I think they are Acoel

Brown flatworm can be a problem. A wrasse, like a melanarus will eat them readily.

They're shaped closely to that but they're white

White are good guys. No worries. There populations rise with tank conditions and then they just kinda disappear.

Oh good. I noticed there were only a few, then an outbreak, then back to a few, now a lot again. They must've came in with the reel reef rock that I ordered from Pacific East, it was sent overnight, wet from their baby clownfish tank.
