Tiny white crabs??? ID

[fishnchip]

So I just noticed these little things on my corals. They almost look like tiny hermit crabs (the way the crawl). I only notice them at night and they have what looks like white spotting. They’re super small so it’s hard to get a decent picture. Want to make sure they won’t harm my corals, and if so, what to do about it.

Flatworms? Hard to tell from this picture though..

They could be but that seem to crawl. Which is weird

Could they be zoanthid spiders?

Maybe zoa eating nudibranch’s?

I really wish I could upload a video of them so it would be more clear

I really can't get a better pic since they're sooo tiny. If anyone has an email I could send the videos to I'd really appreciate it!! (it;s the little cone shaped thing in the middle)

Those appear to be Nudis. I would dip Frag asap. Also try remove the tiny snails. I do w tweezers. They too will lay eggs on the Zoa

Those white specks on the frag plug are actually just sand. The white thing toward the top part of the zoa is the creepy crawler. They don't seem to move the way nudis do. They crawl more like little tiny hermits. I could be wrong but I don't think they're nudis
