Hello can you help ID critters

[Aznkid7700]

Hello my hammer coral is so fluffy and healthy. In the pictures it was just put back in the tank so kinda off ticked off. But as you can see there are big ones ans baby ones crawling around.
They are not bothering the coral at all.

Most of what I see are spirorbid worms (small feather duster worms). I have them everywhere and they never bother anything. Beyond that I can see what sort of looks like larger variety copepods, but it is hard to see.

Hey Tommy I didn't see the part you saying it looks like copepods. Sorry.
I dose my tank with reef nutrition Tigger pods & the other pods they have atleast once a month. But these look so much bigger that it makes me nervous that it's something else.
But maybe your right maybe they have just gotten bigger and have been living in my sand and rocks.

these are isopods, and not likely to be what irritates the coral.

Thank goodness!
There is nothing irritating the hammer at all.
It is perfectly happy and healthy.

Thank you again!
