Coral hitchhiker ID

[reeftn]

Hey all!

Not in the aquarium yet but found some fun looking critters on my new coral! IDs for curiosity anyone?

I have exit dip. Sufficient for removing?

Amphipod and what appears to be a bristle worm. Both good.

I see a bristle worm and a copepod, both are desirable members of the clean up crew.

 

[reeftn]

Thanks to both of you. One more that’s hard to catch a picture of. Much smaller.

If you want them, remove and keep; but still dip the coral.

 

[fragit]

The little one is hard to tell looks like an amphipod also desirable!

+1 on amphipod. Definitely too big to be a copepod. Bristle worm. I’d pluck the worm off. They’re ok but can become trouble down the line. Use tweezers or add to dip - don’t touch worm. Can leave a little sting.
