Sorry, referring to the giant thing that moves in the middle of the video. I submitted the video accidentally twice. Only that moving one is new and I have ID the rest so far. Shot with room light only.

Looks like a isopod but let's ask the #reefsquad

Looks like a chiton. Harmless, another part of the clean up crew.

It is most definitely a chiton and beyond harmless, they are helpful algae cleaners. I wish I had more!

Thank you all. This is my 11th month into my first Reef tank , I honestly didn't expect all these animals you all help me ID in the last month. I thought I read a lot before starting the hobby and worried for a few years if I could handle it. Never thought about this part and now I understand more why some reefer quarantine for months . I believe I got all these from Corals as I used dry rock ( but I didn't really clean those dry rocks completely ).
The best part though is my kids always love little creatures and they aren't worried seeing these . More intrigued by them. I am kind of learning from them and you as long as they are not harmful.
Thank you all again!
On the other side, I am still dealing with a couple that's bad......

There is not a day that goes by where I look into my tanks and see something new. It's absolutely fascinating and while there are a lot of bads, it is a never ending learning process, and that's part of the fun. It never gets stagnant there is always something new to learn. Just the other day I found a 1 inch limpet in my newer tank and I have no idea how something that big went undetected for so long, but cool as heck.
