spiders ?

[awelds]

when veiwing my favia at night it looks like there are little spiders crawling all around the smaller polyps towards the edge of the coral. they are small and very slow moving. i cant make out what color they are there just to small . can some one please tell me what these are and if there good or bad? i tryed to search on line could not find any info that didnt contradict itself. i can sure use some ones opinion thanks.

More than likely bad, but not to hard to get rid of.

Check this out: CoralPedia.com! :: The definitive repository for named Corals!
