Picked up some frags today. Knocked a lot of critters off. Thoughts are that the stars are asterna, and I found a few copepods that I tossed into the tank. But lots of little bugs. Rather flat and pale, though one was coraline color. Thought they were flat worms but they move rather quickly so I think they have legs

I do see an asterina which I would take outside and run over with your car... I can't see anything else
The little critters are hard to see and are only really visible in the video. Yeah, I took the asterina stars out!! Though havent run it over yet. I kept one in a dish with some water

It took me two years to kill all the asterina in my tank. I hate them with a passion
 
Pics fuzzy to tell what it is
 
If isopod, I don’t want them in my tanks. Some can attach to fish. While many isopods are free living and harmless or beneficial to reef systems, a large number are either predatory, or parasitic, or dangerous to other reef animals.
They do eat algae
