Really can't stay quiet when I see some good macros and micro photos and video like yours, good job mate, well done!
Sorry, can't recognise it, it was looking like sea spider, but not that size, and I'm not sure

Only can't get, how do you do the hole on it? You shoot it with a gun or? You are really good :cool: (about the bigger one I mean it's like complete hole on the centre of it)
But you know I'm joking ;)
GL with ID it, probably #reefsqaud can help here
 
The larger one in the first pic is halacaridae (marine mite). The smaller one in the second pic is a copepod nauplius

So the 1st one don't sound good looking at the web what that mean, the second one is one of the meals we introduce in the tanks for our corals or fish.
@taricha is it actually bad the 1st one?

I found this about them: halacaridae (marine mite)

They are fine. Just diversity. No one has ever had enough to cause a problem, regardless of what they actually eat - and they may be herbivores.
 
Thanks a bunch as always taricha! I check under the scope often and had never seen these before.
