This little guys crawl around my plugs in the sandbed and on my torches on my rocks, so I assume it’s on my other euphyllia. Maybe it wasn’t on the euphyllia itself, but the frag? I thought at first glance it was a flatworm, but my friend thinks it’s a nudi. I’m unsure, love to figure out cause I just transferred a torch to my euphyllia only tank and would love to know if I need to pull it.

it is an isopod of some species, if you have no coral damage I would leave well enough alone. the sandy back pattern indicates he most likely is not an issue for the corals
 
You are blessing in disguise, I had a heart attack because I dip EVERYTHING.

it may belong to the Serolidae, sometimes called trilobite isopods, I've never heard of issues from them, There is a cluster of species diversity in the tropical atlantic
