Help ID two critters

[epicfatigue]

So tank is in its first 6 months. I had a massive flatworm problem which I finally cleared up.

Now I have had a bloom of sphaeromatids which I hear mixed reviews on some say good some say bad ?

But now I am seeing a bloom of two new guys

1. Lots of little guys not overly fast moving but moving none the less, praying the are copepods ?

2. Almost appear as a larger white dot with conjoined little dots not many of these, sit on the glass never seem to move.

 

[LAA]

the dots look kinda like baby snails or snail eggs.

Looks like nerite snail hatchlings and the star shaped object is a Hydroid. Take the edge of credit card and scrape hydroid into a net and discard

Sphaeromatids should be fine. It's cirolanids that are bad.

Small, slow-moving white dots are likely to be harmless. Could be baby snails, yeah. Copepods are the size of big dust specks to sand grains, and move in jerky-twitch patterns across the glass.
