Need id on this little bug please

Ok thanks and thanks all.guess will peel gsp off rock best i can and either try save all ampripods, spaghetti worms and any other beneficial critters i can ( somehow, but dont know how yet as there so many places for them to hide in them frag plugs and rocks on top lol.
As you can see from video its like a miniature cave system in there lol.will try swoosh them out and pippette them up or something.if not plenty more chances to get more beneficial critters.and hope all these isopods stayed in that rock and didnt move off it ( highly unlikely so maybe im stuck with them who knows)
Any idea on this thing that looks like a snail while we all here ^_^its bright white,quite small like few mm and moves like a snail,its shell like offsided if get me.cant see nothing like it on the net after looking last night
Shell looks like that of a sundial snail - A snail you DO NOT want in the tank

Ok thanks for reply.maybe its a baby sundial then,and hasnt got its colours yet.
Well im going pull whats left of the gsp colony ( cut 8 small pieces off colony and toothbrusged them clean,so hopefully wiped off any eggs of any kind) and peel what i can off the rocks and re-glue to a small rock and put in my fish qt tank as not got a coral qt tank.ovbiously tooth brush the gsp once peeled off rock and inspect then swish and swoosh the frag and rocks the gsp was attached to and try get everything to fall off and try save all the beneficial critters and bin the rest.
Only really small 20cm probably cheapest stock led light that built into hood on the cheap tank.but should be ok just for a week or so in this tank so can keep eye on it.
Thanks everyone for all the replys much appreciated
 
@Mibu and @vetteguy53081
Just try swish and swoosh gsp rock with all the critters on it but nothing came out as rock like a labrinth of caves and lots hiding places on it so added coral dip at high dose to agitate critters out to try catch them but only managed to save one what i believe spaghetti worm.
So question is i know they good detritus eaters but can irritate corals if tentacles to close.so bin it or add to my tank now lights are out ?
Im going ditch the little bit of gsp that left as already fragged 8 pieces that stuck on my back overflow and binning the frag plug and rocks that the gsp was on just incase.

4 pics of them isopods when took off gsp colony

Ty for reply but binned it about 20 minutes ago.
Quickly re-capped my research on them amd seen medusa worms can let off toxins if stressed or dying as part of sea cucumbers.
Didnt know about spaghetti worms and as dosed high dose coral dip.wasnt sure if would make it but made sense just ditch it
 
If you have any others. Let them be. They help keep things clean.
Yeah will do.
Kind of gutted that lost all these good critters on this just one coral and gutted didnt have the balls to roll the dice and just seen what happenned with them isopods and more so the more i think of it as chance all them isopods just stayed on them rocks for 4 days straight highly unlikely so if still got some in tabk then i got rid of all the beneficial critters for nothing pfffft but always another opportunity to get more on frags right but think i may do what i was meant to do and take all new corals off the frag plug or rock they on and glue them to a new clean frag plug.
And need decide if will buy a cheap 10 gallon tank for an observationally coral tank before putting in main dt like i had planned but decided not to as thinking i want more natural tank but ovbiously not if im binning some gsp tonight and rocks/ frag plug it came on,but some the gsp did look like it being eaten as holes in it and black inside
 

Sorry super late to the party, but those are ostracods.
Hi and thanks for reply. I did remove the gsp frag from tank thinking to remove these from tank but ovbiously even putting a frag in for 10 seconds one can fall/crawl off onto rocks/sand which has happenned as in video 1 on first video is one of the same guys
